A tragic plane crash in Brazil has claimed the lives of all 62 people on board. The plane, a Boeing 737 operated by the airline company Gol, was flying from Rio de Janeiro to Manaus when it crashed in a remote area in the Amazon rainforest. The cause of the crash is currently unknown and an investigation is underway to determine what happened.
The flight had taken off from Rio de Janeiro’s Santos Dumont airport and was scheduled to land in Manaus, a city in northern Brazil. The plane lost contact with air traffic control shortly after takeoff and crashed in a densely wooded area, making it difficult for rescue teams to access the crash site.
Authorities have confirmed that there were no survivors among the 62 people on board, which included passengers and crew members. The death toll is expected to be one of the highest in Brazilian aviation history.
The families of the victims have been notified and are receiving support from the airline company and local authorities. The Brazilian government has declared a national day of mourning to honor the victims of the crash.
This tragic event has once again highlighted the risks associated with air travel and the importance of safety measures and regulations in the aviation industry. The investigation into the cause of the crash will be crucial in preventing similar accidents in the future.
Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.
