Brazil Plane Crash: Big information is coming out from Brazil. Here on Saturday, a plane crashed in Brazil’s popular tourist city Barcelona. All the 14 people in question died on the spot. This accident happened when the plane was trying to land in bad weather. At the same time, police officers and Brazilian Air Force will also go to the spot to investigate the plane crash.
Landing attempt in bad weather
According to media reports, the pilot of the plane was approaching the city in heavy rain with low visibility and inadvertently started landing in the middle of the runway. The plane went off the landing strip and crashed, he said, killing all 12 passengers and two crew. The state government said in a statement that preliminary investigations showed that all the passengers were Brazilian men. Also, officials said two planes arriving in Barcelos at about the same time had to return to Manaus due to weather.
Governor expressed grief
Governor Wilson Lima tweeted that our teams have been on the ground since the moment of the accident to provide necessary assistance. My solidarity and prayers to the family and friends of the victims. Officials said the Brazilian Air Force and police would investigate the crash. He further said that the bodies of the victims would be taken to the state capital on Sunday for identification. The state official said an Air Force plane would leave Manaus at about 5:00 a.m. tomorrow with investigators and emergency officials. Hopefully tomorrow we will be able to bring the bodies to Manaus and immediately take them for forensics and then hand them over to the families.
