The pilot of the plane that crashed in Colombia had radioed he was running out of fuel and in an emergency, according to a recording of his final communications. 


Monday night's disaster killed 71 people, including most of Brazil's Chapecoencse football team en route to a cup final in Colombia, and sent shock waves round the global football world. 


Only six on board the LAMIA Bolivia charter flight survived, including three of the Chapecoense squad en route to the biggest game in their history: the Copa Sudamericana final. 


"Miss, LAMIA 933 is in total failure, total electrical failure, without fuel," the Bolivian pilot Miguel Quiroga is heard telling a control tower operator at Medellin airport on the crackly audio played by Colombian media. 


"Fuel emergency, Miss," he added, requesting urgent permission to land
