Pacific Coast Conference

Chilean President Declares Days of Mourning for Plane Crash Victims

During his visit to the military base Group 10 of the Chilean Air Force (FACH), Piñera said the decision is “a way of expressing solidarity with the families of the victims and contribute to the pain they have suffered” along with thousands of people across the country.

“We have and will continue doing what is humanly possible to find the remains of the occupants of the crashed plane,” Piñera added, acknowledging that in this scenario it cannot be guaranteed that the search for missing people will be successful.

The announcement came after the president bid farewell to one of the four crash victims whose bodies have been found and identified. Before the ceremony, Piñera communicated by video conference with Defense Minister Andrés Allamand, who is at the crash site.

A CASA 212 aircraft belonging to the Chilean Air Force crashed near a group of islands off the country’s Pacific Coast on Friday, killing all 21 people on board. The aircraft was heading towards the Juan Fernandez Islands, which are located in the South Pacific Ocean around 600 kilometers (373 miles) off the country’s coast.

It was carrying staff and film crew of “Buenos Días a Todos” (Good Morning Everyone), a local TV show broadcast by TVN. The group was going to cover the islands’ earthquake reconstruction efforts.

The cause of the accident remains uncertain, but harsh weather conditions could have made the landing difficult, as the plane went down on the opposite side of its destination.

The Seattle Sports Hub: 2011 Pac-12 preview and predictions

Our writing team will keep all of our readers informed on all the happenings with the Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders, Huskies and any other Seattle team you can think of. So for the latest news and analysis on all of Seattle's sports teams check us out here at The Seattle Sports Hub. We are also a proud partner of The Seattle Sports Blog. This year the Pacific coast conference has added two teams making them the Pac-12 conference. For the first time in the Pac's history you'll see divisional play and a Pac-12 championship game. The team with the best conference record will host that championship game. Not only will teams try to win their division but they'll also try to win the top spot in the conference to host the title game. This year the Pac-12 features two teams who ranked in the top 10 who happen to be in the same division. Last year both the Oregon Ducks and Stanford Cardinal played in BCS games. This year both the Ducks and Cardinal are hoping to return to a BCS game with a possible trip to the National championship. The Pac-12 championship game should be interesting as Oregon won't be able to play Stanford. What also throws a wrench into this is that the USC Trojans who are picked to win the Pac-12 south aren't eligible to play for the title. So there is a good chance that the fourth best team in the conference will play for the right to play in the Rose Bowl. The last team from the Pacific Coast conference to win the Rose Bowl was the 2008 USC Trojans. The conference has two heavy weights in the Oregon Ducks who have won the conference the last two years and the Stanford Cardinal who feature the best NFL prospect in Andrew Luck. This conference also welcomes in the Utah Utes who have done very well in the past and the Colorado Buffaloes who have won a national championship just 20 years ago. In this following post I'll break down each team while dividing them up into divisions.
