All 61 aboard brazilian flight perish in crash

A Voepass Linhas Aéreas plane, an ATR-72-500, crashed in Vinhedo, north of São Paulo, Brazil on Friday, with 61 passengers and crew members onboard, resulting in no survivors. The flight was en route from Cascavel in Paraná to Guarulhos in São Paulo when it went down around 01:30 local time. As per images on GloboNews, the aircraft fell straight into a cluster of trees, followed by a large plume of black smoke. Witness Daniel de Lima described the plane in a horizontal spiral, rotating without moving forward, before it plummeted and exploded. Damage on the ground was minimal with only one home affected and no residents injured. São Paulo official Guilherme Derrite confirmed the black box has been found intact. Voepass could not provide further details on the cause of the crash. This incident is the deadliest in Brazil since 2007, when a TAM flight crash killed 199 people.
