Chapecoense plane crash: How Brazilian coach's son cheated death after he forgot his passport
Coaches
and players of Brazilian football club, Chapecoense were heading to the
first of two matches in the final of the Copa Sudamericana, on Monday night when their chartered aircraft crashed south of Medellin, a muddy Colombian hillside, killing 71 of the 77 people aboard.
Only three players were among the survivors. But one man had luck by his side. Matheus
Saroli, whose father Caio Junior, 51, was one of the victims of the
tragic crash, got saved -- thanks to his forgotten passport. Saroli made the revelation in a Facebook post:
"Friends, my
brother and my mother are all well. We ask that we are given a little
privacy, especially to my mother, and thank all of those sending
messages. I was in Sao Paulo today and didn't board the flight because I
had forgotten my passport. We are strong, we are going to get past
this. Thank you everyone" he wrote.
