The players, staff, and directors of Racing Club de Avellaneda suffered a scary episode on their return flight from a match against Belgrano (Racing lost 2-0). There was a tense moment as, with the plane still on the runway, a door suddenly opened. This sparked panic among the passengers, who shouted for the pilot to stop.

Luckily, it just gave the Racing players a fright. Yet it came too soon, with the tragedy that befell the Chapecoense team still fresh in collective mind of the football world.
