Plane Crashes into Residential Area in Brazil, Killing All 62 People On Board
A plane crash in the Brazilian state of São Paulo has left all 62 people on board dead.
The twin-engine turboprop plane, operated by Voepass airline, was en route from Cascavel to São Paulo city when it plummeted into a residential area in Vinhedo.
The aircraft, built in 2010, was carrying 58 passengers and four crew members. Although local authorities reported that the plane crashed into a residential area, no one on the ground was injured or killed.
Disturbing footage circulating on social media shows the plane spiraling out of control before impact.
Brazil’s President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, expressed his condolences during an event he was speaking at, describing the news as “very sad”.
“I have to be the bearer of very bad news, and I would like everyone to stand up so that we can have a minute of silence,” he told his audience.
