The first of two Brazilian air force planes carrying the remains of a football team killed in a plane crash arrived today in the city of Chapeco in southern Brazil.

Fireworks lit up the sky as the plane touched down in pouring rain after a flight from Medellin, where Cinderella- story club Chapecoense Real had been travelling for a big match when their plane ran out of fuel and crashed Monday night, killing 71 people including 51 players, coaches and staff.
