FOOTBALL : CHAPECOENSE TRAGEDY - - CO-PILOT HAD ASSURED ' BEST SERVICE ' BEFORE DOOMED FLIGHT TOOK OFF !

In a chilling ominous interview with a local TV right inside the cockpit just moments before their doomed flight, Co-Pilot Sisy Arias confidently assured they were ready to deliver 'the best service' to the passengers on board.

Little did she know, tragedy was about to strike.

'LaMia is always flying football teams, in this case Chapeco, taking them to the city of Medellin, Colombia,' Arias told Gigavision TV. 'And we are ready to offer them the best service,' she said.

Sisy Arias was a model and a pilot, co-piloted the ill-fated LaMia Flight 2933 (LMI 2933) carrying the Chapecoense football team en route to Colombia, which crashed shortly before destination in Medellin, Colombia on November 28, killing almost the entire football contingent on aboard, including herself.

The flight was Sisy Arias' first flight -- and her last -- as a civilian co-pilot.

She was 29.

The tragedy claimed the lives of 71 people on board, including 19 celebrated football players, 20 journalists, football club management and staff, and flight crew.

Only 6 people -- 3 of which are Chapecoense players -- miraculously survived.

The Chapecoense football team of Chapeco, Brazil was on their way to the biggest match of their history -- the Copa Sudamerica Final (South American Cup Final) -- against the host city of Medellin, Colombia, when disaster struck.

Investigators had confirmed, the plane had run out of fuel some 20 minutes before landing, causing the deadly crash.

The tragedy has shocked the whole world of football.

FOOTBALL : CHAPECOENSE - - BRAZILIAN FOOTBALL TEAM ALMOST ENTIRELY WIPED OUT IN TRAGIC PLANE CRASH !

The world reels in shock as a charter plane carrying a jubilant, rising Brazilian football team, on its way to the biggest match of their lives, playing in a Cup Championship Finals, crashed on approach in Medellin, Colombia wiping out almost entirely the whole football team, including 20 journalists on board.

Of the 77 people aboard the ill-fated plane, 71 were killed, 6 miraculously survived.

The football team lost 19 players.

The team, Chapecoense, also known for its acronym ACF (Associação Chapecoense de Futebol) is a popularly rising Brazilian football club, based in the small city of Chapecó in Brazil.

Just days ago, the whole city was extremely overjoyed after Chapecoense, having the most glorious moments in their history, won the Semi Finals and will go through the Championship Finals of the Copa Sudamericana (South American Cup) -- the second most prestigious football tournament in South America.

Chapecoense was to face the opposing team Atletico Nacional of Medellin, Colombia in the Finals.

Then, tragedy strikes.

The plane carrying the team, management, staff, journalists who were to cover the momentous match, and crew, -- all in a high celebratory mood inside the aircraft -- slammed on a mountainside as they approached Medellin.

Some of the players were even happily and playfully Instagramming, moments before the tragedy.

The pilot repeatedly reported 'electrical failure' and 'lack of fuel' before the plane went down.

News of the tragic disaster sent shock waves to the world of football - and beyond.

Thousands of football fans in Brazil and millions around the world, paid tribute to the fallen athletes.

Brazil has declared 3 days of national mourning, following the tragedy.
