Brazilian Serie A club side in Plane crash

After the tragic plane crash that killed 19 Chapecoense players last November, much news abounded of the huge donations the club would be receiving from various players and clubs in the footballing community.

Over time, it became clear that many of these reports were false. However, this week the President of Chapecoense Plínio David De Nes confirmed that the one club who did provide financial aid for the Brazilian side was Barcelona.

"Only Barcelona have been with us from the very first moments," he told the Brazilian press. "They made money available to us and then in August they invited us to play the Gamper Trophy with the money divided between us."

He added that Roma also offered to play a game against Chapecoense, but it turned out to be unfeasible due to a packed schedule. Even so, De Nes thanked all of the clubs who offered support "in one way or another."

But also in sense it was his f**k up not too, escalate the gravity of his situation to ATC

I don't like flying with dodgy airlines. That's why I rarely go to the likes of Macedonia. The amount of dodgy sh*te and lack of concern for safety is mindboggling in these backwaters.

Saw an air crash investigation about the Russian Ice Hockey team that were killed in a plane crash.
The pilot had a numb foot and leg FFS from diabetes and so had his foot on the brake without knowing while they were taking off and couldn't get the velocity they needed to get airborne. 
They couldn't give a bollix.  You can imagine the doctors testing him.  ''Ah sure he cant feel his legs. I don't give a fook. Not my problem.''

And you can imagine the pilot. Another clown.  ''Hmm I can't feel my legs but I don't give a sh*t if I might be dangerous to fly with because I want money. ''

You think we have dodgy ethics here...

So both the pilot that wrote it, and the ground official that stamped it, both knew the plane was at the limit and said nothing
