Passenger plane crashes in Brazil’s Sao Paulo state, all 61 aboard killed

On August 9, 2024, an ATR 72 passenger plane crashed into a gated community in Vinhedo, Sao Paulo, Brazil, killing all 61 people on board, including 57 passengers and 4 crew members. The airline, Voepass, confirmed the deaths and provided a flight manifest but did not disclose the passengers’ nationalities. The cause of the crash is not yet confirmed, but the plane’s black box has been recovered. Early reports suggest icing might be a factor, though this has not been verified. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva declared three days of mourning, and investigations by Brazil’s aviation authorities and Federal Police are underway.
