A chartered aircraft carrying a Brazilian soccer team to Colombia for a regional tournament final has crashed on its way to Medellin's international airport, officials said Tuesday. Medellin's Mayor Federico Gutierrez said Tuesday that it is possible there are survivors. ''It's a tragedy of huge proportions,'' Gutierrez told Blu Radio on his way to the site in a mountainous area outside the city where the chartered aircraft is believed to have crashed shortly before midnight on Monday local time.
