MEDELLIN, Colombia -- Authorities prepared Thursday to transport home the bodies
of dozens of victims of this weeks air tragedy in Colombia as grief turned to
anger amid indications the airliner ran out of fuel before slamming into the
Andes.

indefinitely suspending the charter company that operated the flight.Many of the
victims were players and coaches from a small-town Brazilian soccer team that
was headed to the finals of one of South Americas most prestigious tournaments
after a fairy-tale season that had captivated their soccer-crazed nation.On
Thursday, row upon row of caskets, many covered with white sheets printed with
the logo of the Chapocoense soccer team, filled a Medellin funeral home in
preparation for being flown home, as family members of some victims gathered
there to say their final goodbyes.Grieving relatives of the dead spoke out in
disbelief after a recording of conversations between a pilot of the doomed
flight and air traffic controllers, as well as the account of a surviving flight
attendant, indicated the plane ran out of fuel before crashing late Monday,
killing all but six of the 77 people on board.Osmar Machado, whose son, Filipe,
a defender on the Chapecoense team, died on his fathers 66th birthday,
questioned why the plane, which was flying at its maximum range on the flight
from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, was transporting the team.Profit brings greed, Machado
said, speaking in the Brazilian teams hometown of Chapeco. This plane ended (the
lives of) 71 people.Williams Brasiliano, uncle of midfielder Arthur Maia, said
the crash was avoidable if the team had chosen a commercial airline to travel to
Colombia -- not a charter.Look how complicated that flight was going to be even
if it had arrived, Brasiliano said tearfully of the teams itinerary, which
included a flight from Sao Paulo to Bolivia on a commercial airliner before the
ill-fated flight to Medellin.Even if they had arrived, it is clear that they
would be tired from the trip to play a final. This cant be right. I doubt that a
bigger club would have done the same, he said.Chapecoense spokesman Andrei
Copetti defended the teams decision, saying that more than 30 clubs had used the
Bolivia-based company, LaMia airlines, including Argentina and Bolivia, and that
the team itself had flown on its flights before.They had a good service then. It
was the airline that got in touch with us because they have experience in doing
these long flights in South America, he said.A recording of the flights final
minutes showed the pilot repeatedly requested permission to land because of fuel
problems, although he never made a formal distress call. He was told another
plane had been diverted with mechanical problems and had priority for the
airports single runway, and was instructed to wait seven minutes.As the jetliner
circled in a holding pattern, the pilot grew more desperate. Complete electrical
failure, without fuel, he said before the plane set off on a four-minute death
spiral.By then the controller had gauged the seriousness of the situation and
told the other plane to abandon its approach to make way for the charter jet.
But it was too late.The recording appeared to confirm the accounts of a
surviving flight attendant and a pilot flying nearby who overheard the frantic
exchange. These, along with the lack of an explosion upon impact, pointed to a
rare case of fuel burnout as a cause of the crash of the British Aerospace 146
Avro RJ85, which experts said was flying at its maximum range.The air traffic
controller said in an email sent to her colleagues and released to local media
Thursday that she had done everything humanly and technically possible to save
the lives of the planes passengers.The Bolivian Civil Aviation Authority
announced Thursday it was indefinitely suspending all flights operated by LaMia,
and also suspending some aviation officials for the duration of the
investigation. British aviation authorities said the flight data and cockpit
voice recorders recovered from the accident site were being brought to Britain
for study.Meanwhile, authorities prepared to repatriate the victims remains,
most of which had been identified by Thursday. Relatives of some of the victims
gathered at a Medellin funeral home, and a Brazilian air force transport plane
was on stand-by to take the bodies home Friday. The remains of the Bolivian crew
members were also expected to be flown home Friday.---Associated Press

Parenteau scored early in the third period to help the Avs edge Toronto 2-1 on
Tuesday night. Cory Sarich also scored for Colorado (3-0-0), which is off to its
best ever start. Michael Cheika says he has no fears about throwing young
forwards into the fray against a physical Argentina pack as he prepares to hand
Lopeti Timani his run-on debut at Twickenham this Saturday.Timani is competing
with the Bath-based Leroy Houston for the Wallabies No.8 spot and replaces the
injured Sean McMahon, who is expected to miss a month with syndesmosis picked up
in last weekends loss to South Africa in Pretoria. Houston may yet earn a Test
debut via the bench, which has yet to be finalised.The towering Rory Arnold is
also likely to be drafted in at lock, where he will partner fellow young gun
Adam Coleman, at the expense of Rob Simmons in the only other change to the
starting line-up from the 18-10 defeat.Simmons passed all concussion protocols
after suffering a head knock against the Springboks but is expected to be axed
as Cheika searches for the best combination.In opting for the relative
inexperience of Timani (one Test) and Arnold (four Tests), Cheika said the
Wallabies could have no fear in backing young stars.We cant be frightened to do
that. No matter what game it is, whether its Argentina (or anyone else), he
said.Timani, who came off the bench in the victory over Argentina in Perth last
month in his only Test to date, would bring some much-needed size and aggressive
running at Twickenham on Saturday, Cheika saaid.

Cheap. With the versatile Dean Mumm - a lineout specialist - making
his home at No.6, Cheika believes the Wallabies need a hard-runner at the back
of the scrum in the mould of veteran Wycliff Palu.I think with the profile of
the other players we have, like the sixes who are more the jumping-type sixes,
that ball-carrying, Wycliff Palu-style No.8 is something that we want to have as
well, Cheika said.We want to be able to do both. Leroy is quite an abrasive
runner as well, so theres a great opportunity to (see) how hell go with the step
up.Arnold has impressed off the bench, and Cheika hopes he takes this weekend is
a chance to prove he deserves to be a long-term starter.Hes just been
aggressive, his lineout jumping has really improved, his mobility and ball
carrying... and every time hes come onto the field from the bench hes made an
impact as a finisher, Cheika said.I just think its a real opportunity for
him.Likely Australia XV:?15. Israel Folau, 14. Dane Haylett-Petty, 13. Samu
