5. LAN Chile Flight 210

This was definitely one of the 5 worst football air disasters of all time. The LAN Chile Flight 210, flying from Castro to Santiago disappeared in the Andes out of thin air. The flight was carrying 8 footballers and 2 coaching staff members.

The last recorded message from the pilot reported ice covering the wings and propellers. The flight would meet a fatal end with 24 total fatalities. Since then, there have been sightings of human remains. Much recently in February last year, the aircraft’s fuselage was discovered after more than 50 years in the Andes.
