By Julia Symmes Cobb LA UNION, Colombia (Reuters) – Doctors treated traumatized survivors and an investigation was to get underway on Wednesday into an air crash that killed 71 people and wiped out Brazil's Chapecoense soccer team en route to a cup final in Colombia. Only six people – three players, a journalist and two crew members – survived the disaster on Monday night when Chapecoense's charter plane hit a mountain en route to their Copa Sudamericana showdown in Medellin city. Of the players, goalkeeper Jackson Follmann was recovering from the amputation of his right leg, doctors said.
