Crash survivors meet Pope

-

The Brazilian soccer club devastated by an airplane crash in Colombia last year has met with Pope Francis at the Vatican.

Pope Francis gave Chapecoens­e a special welcome and posed for pictures with the team on Wednesday. When the flight went down in November, all but six of the 77 players, officials and journalist­s on board were killed. Three players survived. Two of them were at the Vatican.
