Bogota, Nov 29 (IBNS) : At least six survivors were pulled from an aircraft wreckage after the chartered plane carrying a Brazilian football team among 72 passengers and nine crew members crashed south of Medellin in Colombia late Monday, media reports said.

The condition of the survivors are not immediately known.

Reports said 25 bodies have so far been recovered.

The short-haul airliner departed Santa Cruz, Bolivia, and was bound for the Jose Maria Cordova International Airport in Rionegro when it went off radar at 10 15 pm local time and crashed outside Medellin city.

Footballers of Chapecoense, a Brazilian team, were among the passengers.

Chapecoense was scheduled to play Copa Sudamerica finals on Wednesday in Medellin.

A video shared on Twitter claimed to show the moment the plane disappeared from view on flight radar.

The BBC cited an airport press release, saying that an electrical fault to the control tower was to blame for the crash.
