The five bodies of the Bolivians killed in the Chapecoense club's aerial tragedy arrived Friday from Colombia to the territory of the Plurinational State on a Hercules Air Force plane (FAB).
As expected, the aircraft initially arrived in the city of Cobija to leave the body of Miguel Quiroga Murakami, who was the pilot of the plane crash of the company LaMia.
The remains of Quiroga were received by a large number of people who moved to the airport of Cobija amid a series of expressions of regret and the crying of their relatives.
Then the plane went to the Viru Viru airport in Santa Cruz to deliver to their relatives the bodies of Ovar Goytia (co-pilot), Sisy Arias (co-pilot), Rommel David Vacaflores (flight attendant) and Alex Quispe (dispatcher).
As in Cobija, dozens of people with white flowers in hand and other signs of solidarity moved to the airport to receive the bodies of the crew of the LaMia aircraft, which crashed last Monday night against the hill Gordo department Colombian city of Antioquia. To the place also came authorities like the minister of Defense, Reymi Ferreira.
The air accident left a total of 71 people dead, among them the great majority of the players of the Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense, and six survivors.
Among the survivors of the tragedy are also two Bolivian citizens, identified as the stewardess Ximena Suárez and the technician Erwin Tumiri.
At the moment both people recover from their wounds in different hospitals in Medellín.
