Is it just me, or is a BAe 146 with payload just simply not able to fly that distance (VVI-MDE)? How could this flight plan have been approved by somebody?

VVI-MDE is about 1600 NM (direct, data from GCMap), an unmodified RJ100 could just make that empty, however a modified RJ100 could make that flight with a ~20,000lbs load. Since it was a charter flight for a football match it is likely most of the load was just pax rather than cargo so it could be presumed the load would be under the weight requirement.
Also I would quite easily say that no airline would knowingly route an aircraft on a flight that was out of its range, and nor would 2 pilots continue a flight if under-fueled.

scuse me, but the plane crashed so close to the destination after circling multiple times - unlikely that it would be something payload related
The survivors are Alan Ruschel, Chapecoense player, had a fractured vertebrae; Hélio Hermito Zampier Neto, Chapecoense player, was one of the latest victim found alive; Jakson Follmann, Chapecoense player, had a leg amputated; Ximena Suarez, flight attendant; Rafael Henzel, journalist and Erwin Tumiri, flight technician
It's more sad know that in Brazil, even with the mourning for the crash, there are still political manifestations; manifestants who don't agree with constitutional amendment that limits government spending are throwing molotov cocktails against police and setting fire in cars, in the capital, Brasilia, while the congress votes anti-corruption laws.
Brazilian Football Confederation postponed the Brazil's Cup final (initially scheduled for tomorrow, November 30) and all the Brazilian League last round, for the next week; Brazilian president, Michel Temer declared 3 days of official mourning; Brazilians major teams and some Europeans teams will lend players to Chapecoense can get up again; Atlético Nacional, the other Sudamericana Cup finalist, declared that will give to Chapecoense the Sudamericana title as an honour to all victims; lots of honours to Chapecoense were made around the world.

For the sake of honouring those lost, I'd suggest stopping speculating and let the investigators find the cause of the accident.

When I posted the article this morning (and read another article about the crash), there was no mention at the time of having circled multiple times.
The article I shared has been heavily edited from its original state this morning. They now report electrical issues.
Either way, it's unfortunate. It just seems like a very long flight for a BAe 146.

My friend is a biologist who specializes in raptors and other birds of prey. Doesn't make me qualified to speak intelligently and in detail on the subject.

Call me crazy, but I don't feel that trying to figure out how it happened is a dishonour to the people that tragically lost their lives. I feel bad for what happened & for the families, friends, & fans of these people. That being said, wanting to understand how & why something bad happened doesn't have to be mutually exclusive with emotions.
