A footballer who survived the Colombia plane crash has taken his first
steps since the disaster. Brazilian Helio Neto was one of just six
people pulled alive from the wreckage of the jet which crashed down in
November, killing 71 - including most of the Chapecoense football team.
Video has now emerged showing the 31-year-old, who was reading a Bible
extract before the plane went down on its approach to the city of
Medellin, walking around without using crutches.
Neto can be seen carefully but steadily taking a few steps, guided by a physiotherapist who holds his hands.
He smiles at his success in the video, which has been shared thousands of times in his homeland.
He said later: 'I think I will be able to play again soon. With the help of God, I will be on the field soon with the Chapecoense shirt.'
