The Chapecoense crash?in Colombia on Tuesday killed 76 of the 81 on board, including most of the team, backroom staff and the media party. Derrick Johnson Jersey . Its the biggest sports-related aviation disaster ever. Govindan Kishwar looks at some of those that preceded it:Torino football team: Superga Air Disaster, 1949 On May 4, 1949, following a friendly against Portuguese side Benfica, the plane carrying the entire Torino team back from Lisbon crashed into a wall at the Basilica of Superga. The crash - caused by a mix of low visibility, high winds and a suspected faulty altimeter - killed 31 people, including the entire Torino team, most of whom were part of the Italy national team. Torino had won four Serie A titles on the trot at the time of the crash; they have only won one since, in 1976.Manchester United Football Club: Munich Air Disaster, 1958The most high-profile sporting disaster, the crash killed 23 people, including eight Manchester United players - popularly known as the Busby Babes. The players were returning from a European Cup match in Belgrade and had stopped at Munich to refuel. The weather was bad, with snow and ice on the tarmac, and after two failed take-offs the passengers returned to the airport while the aircraft was inspected. The third attempt, at 3.04pm, proved fatal; the aircraft failed to reach optimal take-off speed but the pilot could not abort take-off and the plane crashed at the end of the runway. United were the reigning League champions but it was another seven seasons before they would win the title again.Rocky Marciano, boxer: Died August 31, 1969 The former world heavyweight champion, who won all his 49 bouts (43 through K.O), died on August 31, 1969, on the eve of his 46th birthday. Marciano, on board a private Cessna 172, was headed to Iowa, but was hit by bad weather; the inexperienced pilot attempted landing at a small airfield in Newton, Iowa, but he hit a tree two miles short of the runway.Old Christians Club rugby union team: 1972 Andes flight disaster The incident, although tragic, also highlighted the human will to survive. Uruguayan Air force flight 571, with the Old Christians club rugby team from Uruguay on board, crashed on October 13, 1972, in the snow-clad, rugged mountains of Mendoza in Argentina, near the Chilean border. Survivors were not rescued till December 23 that year. Twenty-seven of the 45 passengers survived the crash but the harsh terrain made search efforts difficult and an avalanche killed eight more people. Once food ran out, the survivors were forced to eat the flesh of those who had died. After 72 days, the survivors - three of whom had also tried searching for help by trekking up the mountain - were rescued. The crash - put down to pilot error - was later made into a bestselling book, Alive.Graham Hill, Racing driver: November 29, 1975 Two-time Formula One champion, Graham Hill died at the age of 46, not in a racing car, but in an aircraft. A fan of flying, Hill was returning from France when the Piper PA 23-250 Turbo Aztec plane that he was piloting crashed near Arkley golf course in London. Hill was attempting to land at Elstree Airfield amid heavy fog at night. It was later learned that Hills aircraft was unregistered at the time, his U.S pilot certification had expired, and even his UK private pilots license. His son Damon Hill won his first and only F1 championship in 1996, making Graham and Damon the first father-son Formula One champions.Zambia national football: Gabon Air Disaster, 1993All 30 passengers on board flight Zambian Air Force de Havilland Canada DHC-5D Buffalo, including 18 members of the Zambia national team, died when the aircraft crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off Gabon on its way to Dakar, Senegal. The players were headed for a World Cup qualifier against Senegal. Prior to the crash, tests were run on the aircraft and it was deemed unfit to fly. The flight, however, went ahead as scheduled, and when the engine caught fire, the pilot switched off the wrong engine, sealing their fate. The team had been on the rise at that point but the crash set them back and it took another 20 years before they won their first African Cup of Nations.Payne Stewart, golfer: 1999 South Dakota Learjet crashPayne Stewart, who won 11 PGA tour titles, died at the age of 42 when the Learjet 35 he was travelling from Orlando, Florida, to Dallas, Texas crashed in South Dakota due to a loss of cabin pressure. All six on board, two members of crew, and four passengers, died. The aircraft was on autopilot when it lost cabin pressure, incapacitating those on-board due to a lack of oxygen. The plane kept flying for almost four hours, and 2400 kms, before running out of fuel and crashing in a field in Aberdeen. The NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) report showed that the plane had several instances of maintenance work related to cabin pressure in the months leading up to the accident.Hansie Cronje, cricketer: Died in a plane crash on June 1, 2002The South African cricket captain had been implicated for match-fixing in 2000 and was subsequently handed a life ban from cricket. On June 1, 2002, the all-rounders scheduled flight from Johannesburg to George was cancelled, and Cronje decided to become the only passenger in a Hawker Siddeley HS 748 turboprop aircraft that was flying to George. Poor visibility and inadequate navigational equipment resulted in the flight crashing into a mountain, and the two pilots and Cronje, aged 32, were killed. There are theories that the Cronje was murdered by the betting syndicate for his involvement in fixing; there are other theories that he is still alive. Joe Montana Jersey . With his new coach and six-time Grand Slam singles champion Boris Becker watching him during an official match for the first time, Djokovic appeared tentative early against the Slovakian player, who often appeared content to keep the ball in play. Steven Nelson Jersey . -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite. http:///...s-conley-jersey.html . -- Sergey Tolchinksy scored his second goal of the game 3:56 into overtime as the Sault Ste. Rob Nelson of ESPN Stats & Information revisits the worst bad beats from the weekends gambling action.Closing lines are courtesy of Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, and pick percentages are via Wunderdog Sports.Saturday?Kansas State Wildcats at Baylor BearsClosing line: Over/under 59Just less than 25 percent of the action was on the under in this one, and those bettors looked to be on the winning side. The game was scoreless with less than seven minutes left in the second quarter. Even after three touchdowns in final 6:43 of the half, the under was still in good shape with Kansas State leading 14-7. However, after a slow start, the points started coming bunches.?Unfortunately for those on the under, Baylor couldnt stop the Wildcats in the second half, specifically Alex Barnes. Kansas States freshman running back racked up four touchdowns after halftime, with the fourth score pushing the total over with 3:08 left in the game. There were 42 points scored in the second half, including 21 in the final 7:28.Final score: Kansas State 42, Baylor 21 (Game goes over)Virginia Cavaliers at Georgia Tech Yellow JacketsClosing line: Georgia Tech -10.5Despite entering the game with a 2-8 record, Virginia outplayed Georgia Tech for most of the way on Saturday, outgaining the Yellow Jackets by 88 yards, possessing the ball for 38:37 and coming up with 17 more first downs.Still, three late turnovers ultimately cost those who took Virginia and the points, including a back-breaker with just more than four minutes left. With the Cavaliers trailing 24-17, Matt Johns was picked off by Georgia Techs Lance Austin, who returned it 24 yards to the house. This marked the fifth ATS loss for Virginia in its past six games.Final score: Georgia Tech 31, Virginia 17 (Georgia Tech covers)?SundayJacksonville Jaguars at Detroit LionsClosing line: Lions -5The Jaguars came into this game with a 7-2 ATS record as an underdog of more than a field goal since last season. That trend looked like it was about to continue, until an excruciating final drive by the Lions. After a Jacksonville punt with a little more than eight minutes left, Detroit had the ball and a 23-19 lead. The Lions would proceed to go a drive that must have made anyone who bet the Jaguars go crazy.Two plays in particular are still haunting those bettors. On fourth-and-2 from the Jacksonville 46-yard line,?SenDerrick Marks?was penalized for encroachment to extend Detroits drive. The other play came on third-and-5 from the Jacksonville 36-yaard line, when the Lions were a first down away from being able to run out the clock. Christian Okoye Jersey. They got the first down, but Theo Riddick stopped the clock by going out of bounds. Four plays later, Matt Prater nailed a 43-yard field goal to put Detroit up seven with 22 seconds left. The Jaguars were outscored 10-0 in the final quarter.Final score: Lions 26, Jaguars 19 (Lions cover)?Chicago Bears at New York GiantsClosing line: Over/under 41.5After opening at 47.5, the over/under for this game moved all the way down to 41.5 by kickoff. Heavy winds were expected at Metlife Stadium, and that turned out to be a huge factor in this one. Playing without key offensive starters in Alshon Jeffery and Kyle Long, the Bears started strong, scoring on their first three possessions. Chicago led 16-9 at halftime, with the total on pace to go over.In the second half, the Giants scored touchdowns on their first two possessions and took a 22-16 lead with 6:49 left in third quarter. Why the weird score? Well, the teams combined to miss three extra-point attempts, including two by former Chicago kicker?Robbie Gould. Connor Barth?-- the Bears current leg -- added a missed field goal attempt early in the fourth, and that proved to be the last scoring opportunity for either team. The game ended with a 21:49 scoring drought, causing bettors who took the over to fall 3.5 points short of cashing their tickets.?Final score: Giants 22, Bears 16 (Total goes under)?Miami Dolphins at Los Angeles RamsClosing line: Pick emJared Goffs first start will be a tough one to forget if you took the Rams. Los Angeles led 10-0 and was driving into Dolphins territory late in the game. Faced with a fourth-and-1 with 6:45 left, coach Jeff Fisher elected to kick a field goal instead of going for it. At this point in the game, ESPNs win probability model gave the Rams more than a 97 percent chance to win.Thats when it all went downhill. Greg Zuerlein missed that 48-yard field goal attempt off the left upright, and then Miamis offense came alive. Ryan Tannehill led a pair of touchdown drives in the final minutes to give the Dolphins an improbable win. Not only will Fisher be blamed by those who bet on his Rams on Sunday, but the loss marked the 162nd of his career, tying him with Tom Landry for the second-most defeats in NFL history.Final score: Dolphins 14, Rams 10 (Dolphins cover) Cheap Jerseys 2018 Wholesale NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys China NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '
