Colombian authorities say evidence is growing that a plane carrying a Brazilian football team crashed because it ran out of fuel as it tried to land.
The plane had no fuel on impact, an official said, corroborating audio of the pilot asking to land because of a fuel shortage and electric failure.
The capital Bogota was mentioned on the flight plan as a possible refuelling stop, but the plane did not land there.
The plane plunged into a mountainside near Medellin late on Monday.
Only six of the 77 people on board the plane survived.
“Having been able to do an inspection of all of the remains and parts of the plane, we can affirm clearly that the aircraft did not have fuel at the moment of impact,” civil aviation chief Alfredo Bocanegra told a news conference.
Freddy Bonilla, another aviation official, said regulations stipulated that aircraft must have 30 minutes of fuel in reserve to reach an alternative airport in an emergency, but “in this case the plane did not have” it.
“The engines are the electrical source… but without fuel, obviously the electrical source would have been completely lost,” he added.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (WTNH) – Today we’re Cruisin’ Connecticut to Middletown, home for 76 years to Amato’s Toy Hobby on Main Street. With holiday shopping in full swing, why not shop local for a toy or two?
The toy shop was started in 1940 by then teenager Vincent Amato, selling wooden model airplanes. The family business is now run by Vincent’s daughter Diane Gervais, who earned her first paycheck from the toy store at 5 years old.
I asked her if she’s still excited today to work in

Menlo Park’s largest park is poised for some major changes.
The city intends to develop a master plan for Bedwell Bayfront Park that will plot out improvements for the next 25 years.
Friends of Bedwell Bayfront Park, a community group that formed in 2005 to fend off construction of a golf course at the park, wants Bedwell maintained as a passive recreation area. It also is pushing for the return of a ranger to enforce a recent city ban on drones at parks and to crack down on other illegal and dangerous activities. The group also would like Bedwell’s trails improved and a docent brought in to lead tours through the wildlife refuge that borders it on three sides.
Residents who live near the 160-acre park along the Bay say they want to see all that too, plus some extra benches, a learning center, a rebuilt restroom and maintenance of the Great Spirit Path — a Native American-inspired rock sculpture designed by Menlo Park artist Susan Dunlap.
Meanwhile, members of the Academy of Model Aeronautics would like the city to exempt from the drone ban some types of radio-controlled model aircraft, particularly gliders, which one member likened to kites with radio signals. The park hosts an annual kite day.
In October, the City Council authorized spending $200,000 from the 2016-17 capital improvement budget to develop the master plan.
Azalea Mitch, Menlo Park’s senior civil engineer, said the city is pursuing a master plan to “help identify approaches we should be following to make sure we don’t miss (funding)

Summary: Find out what advances in technology will mean for the future of the law and other industries.
In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared, and they went bankrupt. What happened to Kodak will happen in a lot of industries in the next ten years – and most people won’t see it coming. Did you think in 1998 that three years later you would never take pictures on film again?
Yet digital cameras were invented in 1975. The first ones only had 10,000 pixels but followed Moore’s law. So as with all exponential technologies, it was a disappointment for a long time, before it became way superior and got mainstream in only a few short years. It will now happen with Artificial Intelligence, health, autonomous and electric cars, education, 3D printing, agriculture, and jobs. Welcome to the 4th Industrial Revolution. Welcome to the Exponential Age.
Artificial Intelligence: Computers become exponentially better in understanding the world. This year, a computer
