A survivor of the Chapecoense plane wants to be a commercial pilot

Erwin Tumiri, one of the six survivors of the Lamia plane crash in which 71 people died on a hill in Medellín while transporting the Chapecoense soccer team, assures that he wants to resume the courses to be a commercial pilot upon receiving his medical discharge. to resume my commercial piloting courses and to continue maintaining my passion for aeronautics, "said the 25-year-old technician, who also plays guitar in an evangelical musical group. "I will continue making music with my Ajayu group, who are like my brothers," he added. Aviation technician Erwin Tumiri and his Bolivian compatriot, flight attendant Ximena Suárez, survived the accident along with four other passengers. The apparatus collapsed to the ground with 77 people, including the Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense. A group of prosecutors from Bolivia, Brazil and Colombia will investigate the cause of the accident from Wednesday in the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. One of the main hypotheses being handled is that the plane crashed to the ground because it ran out of fuel shortly after arriving at the Rionegro airport, which serves Medellín. Lamia said in Bolivia that the aircraft, a BA-146 model RJ85, must have refueling in the Bolivian town of Cobija, in the extreme north of the country, to continue its route to Colombia.
