Brazilian plane


Last night a Brazilian plane carrying 155 people disappeared over Amazon Forest. Gol flight 1907 left Manaus in the afternoon but did not arrive in Brasilia as scheduled. The plane collided with a smaller plane, an executive jet in the Amazon region, landed with a damaged wing. What is very strange is that the pilot of the jet didn’t give any information regard to the exact location where it was hit also I’m wondering what a small executive jet was doing in a commercial rote? Mystery…

Brazil dispatched military helicopters and rescue teams to into the Amazon forest where they found the plane completely destroyed into the ground. Authorities held out little hope tonight of finding survivors.

Of course we are very sad with all this disgrace, but particularly I’m deeply sad. A very dear friend of mine has a beloved uncle and aunt in this plane. The couple was in Manaus to enjoy their vacations.
There is nothing to do, besides pray for those 155 people that got together to do the last travel...

Que tristeza. O mundo é muito pequeno, eu também conhecia (by one degree of separation) duas pessoas neste voo....
