Brazil jet disaster probe begins
Rescue workers and crash investigators are searching the wreckage of a Brazilian passenger jet that crashed in flames at Sao Paulo's main airport.
All 186 people on board the Airbus 320 are believed dead, as well as many as 15 people on the ground...
hi everyone,
it was a tense night yesterday evening as i read about the awful tragedy of the Brazilian plane crash that occured Monday evening in Sao Paulo. my heart is heavy for this city, and for this country as many, both passengers and ground staff, were killed in the crash. i think it hits home to me a little more as i flew several times back and forth on this same airline, making stops at Congonhas Airport. one time, my travelling partner and i remember a rougher-than-usual landing in Sao Paulo after a short flight from Salvador...our wing tipped a little too close to the ground that left us wondering what would happen next.
let's remember to pray for those who are mourning (President Lula has declared 3 days of mourning) as well as for the investigation that will take place hereafter. many people don't know yet if they have family members on that airplane...closure is so important.
below is the article, including a video on the BBC website:
