STANDING ROCK. FAA bans drones: “Earlier this month drone footage of protesters being sprayed with water cannons in freezing weather went viral, but it was taken before the FAA ban. Now journalists and activist videographers are not allowed to collect drone aerial video of the ongoing protest at the campsite until Dec. 2, when the ban lifts.”

TRAGEDY IN COLOMBIA. Chartered plane carrying Brazilian football team crashes in mountainous area: “The chartered plane, carrying top Brazilian football team Chapecoense, crashed outside the city of Medellin killing 76 and leaving just six survivors – three of them players. Team members had posed together for a picture in Bolivia ahead of take-off as they were travelling to Colombia for the biggest game in the club's history, the Copa Sudamerica final. But their journey came to a devastating end when the jet smashed into a hill and broke in two in remote mountains at about 10.15pm.” Brazil declares three days of mourning…
The team, from the small city of Chapeco, was in the middle of a fairy tale season. It joined Brazil's first division in 2014 for the first time since the 1970s and made it last week to the Copa Sudamericana finals – the equivalent of the UEFA Europa League tournament – after defeating two of Argentina's fiercest squads, San Lorenzo and Independiente, as well as Colombia's Junior.
The team is so modest that its 22,000-seat arena was ruled by tournament organizers too small to host the final match, which was instead moved to a stadium 300 miles to the north in the city of Curitiba.
“Chapecoense was the biggest source of happiness in the town,” the club's vice-president, Ivan Tozzo, told Brazil's SporTV. “Many in the town are crying.”
Alan Ruschel, who survived the crash, posted video to Instagram before it happened:

AWARDS SEASON. Gay drama Moonlight sweeps the Gotham awards.
HAMILTON. Box office scores biggest week ever following Pence controversy, but: “he annual bounty of Thanksgiving week gave the Broadway box office a record $35 million to be thankful for last week, with the hottest ticket on the street, “Hamilton,” blowing past the $3 million mark with an average price paid per ticket of more than $300…These are best-yet tallies that come in the wake of all the attention “Hamilton” got from its recent visit by Mike Pence, but the explosion can't be attributed to that controversy; the much-hyped show's tickets for the week would have been snapped up at big-money prices long before that.”
