A tragic plane crash in Vinhedo, Brazil, has claimed the lives of all 62 individuals on board, including 58 passengers and four crew members. The ATR-72 aircraft, operated by Voepass, was en route from Cascavel to São Paulo when it went down in a residential area, causing widespread devastation.
The crash occurred just before 1:30 PM local time, shortly before the plane was scheduled to land at São Paulo's Guarulhos Airport. Eyewitness accounts describe the aircraft plummeting from the sky, engulfed in flames upon impact. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among residents on the ground.
In the wake of this disaster, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva expressed his condolences, urging a moment of silence for the victims. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the crash, with authorities focusing on potential weather-related factors, including a polar cold wave affecting the region.
