FOOTBALL : CHAPECOENSE TRAGEDY - - CHILLING CONTROL TOWER RADIO EXHANGE BEFORE CRASH !

A black-box audio recording, leaked to the press, of the exchange between Colombian air control tower and incoming air traffic in Medellin showed moving details how the distressed aircraft LaMia Flight 2933, carrying the Brazilian football team Chapecoense, desperately sought help before fatally plummeting to the ground.

The pilot, Miguel 'Micky' Quiroga, can be heard over the radio exchanging with a female air traffic controller calmly reporting the aircraft was in total electric failure and out of fuel.

Shortly, air traffic control began giving instructions to the pilot in preparations for landing, while other aircraft with their own issues waited airborne.

Later at 9,000 feet Miguel Quiroga suddenly lost contact to the control tower.

His last word, 'Jesus!'

His radio has gone dead quiet, despite repeated calls from the control tower.

In a tragic twist of fate, pilot Miguel Quiroga who had become a father to his third child only recently, himself had lost his own father in an aircraft accident, when he was still a baby.
