Tragedy Strikes as Airplane Drops from the Sky with 62 Souls Onboard
On Friday, one of the most bizarre plane crashes I have ever seen took place.
An airplane carrying 58 passengers and four crew literally fell from the sky and crashed in Brazil, leaving no survivors.
New information has surfaced as to what could have possibly caused the plane to drop like a rock from the sky.
Horror in the Skies
Personally, I have never seen something like this happen before. I have spoken to friends in the military as well, and they are all baffled about how this could have happened.
The ATR 72-500, operated by the airline Voepass, was traveling from Cascavel in southern Parana state to Sao Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport when it was captured on video just falling out of the sky.
Generally speaking, even when a plane loses power, it will still glide from the forward momentum it had when it did have power, but that was not the case here.
This plane simply fell straight down from the sky, crashing to the earth, killing everyone aboard.
The black box has been recovered, which will hopefully shed some light on what happened.
Officials are now speculating that the crash may have had something to do with icy conditions in which the plane was flying, but that would not explain why there was no distress call or warning from the pilots on the plane itself.
Here is the latest news report on the crash…
As bad as that crash was, it could have been much worse had the plane hit civilians on the ground, but that somehow did not happen.
Hopefully, between the black box and the cockpit voice recordings, officials will be able to figure out what happened so we never see something like this take place again.
