A passenger plane carrying 62 people crashed in a suburb of Sao Paulo on Friday afternoon, killing all on board, Brazilian officials said. Video footage from the scene showed the Voepass Linhas Aéreas plane crashed, with the fuselage destroyed and a huge fire on the ground.
“There are no survivors,” Ana Cândida Briski, communications director for the nearby city of Valinhos, told CNN, adding that there were no casualties on the ground either.
Flight tracking data showed the twin-engine turboprop ATR 72-500 plunged 17,000 feet in just one minute, but the cause was unclear. “It is still not possible to confirm how the accident occurred and the current condition of those on board,” Voepass Airlines said in a statement.
