Brazil Plane Crash: A Nation in Mourning

On August 9, 2024, a harrowing incident shook Brazil as a passenger plane plummeted to the ground in the city of Vinhedo, São Paulo state. The aircraft, an ATR 72 turboprop operated by Voepass Linhas Aéreas, was en route to São Paulo's Guarulhos International Airport when it met with a catastrophic fate.

Dramatic dashboard camera footage captured the last moments of the plane as it went out of control, and then flew straight down into a residential area.

The impression was that the sections of the building structure were thrown away over a large distance, damaging the houses nearby.
