What about the plane "gliding" on its way down? I've heard that planes with no power to engines can do this. Is it a matter of being a very skilled pilot and pulling this off (to some degree) and the average commercial pilot doesn't have the skill/quick thinking to even consider it?

They were Brazil's Leicester City.

I don't think they even have a team to field anymore. The plane was carrying around 80 something passengers and 76 have been confirmed dead.

Will they be able to rebuild and play again next season
