On August 9, a major plane accident took place in Brazil. Local TV station Globonews reported that a plane carrying 62 people crashed. All 62 people on board the plane died in this accident. The ATR-72 aircraft, operated by airline Voipas Linhas Aéreas, was en route from Cascavel in Paraná state to Guarulhos in Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo’s state fire brigade confirmed on social media that a plane had crashed in Vinhedão and sent seven crews to the crash area.
What the family of a deceased woman told after the incident is heartbreaking. This woman, one of the passengers who died in this horrific plane crash, had sent one last message to her mother a few moments before the accident. The passengers included 23-year-old Rosana Santos Javier of Franco da Rocha, Greater Sao Paulo. Rosana, her family’s sole breadwinner, was traveling for work at the time. Her mother, Rosemary Had to go.
Immediately after boarding the plane, Rosana sent several messages in her family group chat. At around 11:47 in the morning he wrote, ‘The flight is in two hours. We are about to arrive in the rain. I am very scared of this flight. I am telling the truth, this plane is old. There is a broken seat and no arrangement is correct.
Rosana had also sent a selfie to her mother from the flight, in which she looked quite upset. Rosanna’s mother further told the Brazilian news agency that she advised her daughter to read a Bible verse to calm down. But the way she was messaging made her look more worried.
Let us tell you that the plane took off from Cascavel Regional Airport in Paraná in the morning and was going to Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo. Everything seemed normal until 1:20 pm, when the Brazilian Air Force informed that the plane had lost contact with ATC. Viral footage on social media shows the plane landing among trees, followed by a huge plume of black smoke.
By August 10, Brazilian authorities had completed the recovery of the bodies of 62 victims of the crash. Meanwhile, investigators have started examining the black box of the plane to determine the cause of the accident. “A total of 62 bodies (34 men and 28 women) were recovered and taken to Sao Paulo morgues for identification and handing over to their families,” the regional government said.
Rosana’s mother further said – As soon as I got the news of the crash, I started running around the house screaming. It was found that all the passengers were dead.
