Heart-wrenching news has surfaced about a devastating plane crash that occurred in one of Brazil’s prime tourist destinations.
The calamity resulted in the death of 10 family members when their plane tragically clipped a chimney of a second-story structure, igniting into flames thereafter.
This small aircraft, a Piper Cheyenne 400 turboprop, unfortunately crashed right in the heart of Gramado’s bustling commercial district in Southern Brazil, as confirmed by the city’s local civil defense authorities.
The plane was under the command of a businessman, Luiz Claudio, with all aboard being his cherished family members.
This tragic event unfolded just moments after the aircraft took off from Canela, a nearby city. It collided with a building, a residence, and ultimately plummeted into a furniture store.
Regrettably, there were no survivors aboard, as the impact caused the jet to ignite into a fiery explosion, confirmed by local police.
Chilling CCTV recordings captured the precise moments when bystanders fled in terror, anticipating the tragic crash of the aircraft into the two-story building.
The fireball from the plane briefly illuminated the sky before it struck the ground with a heartrending force. Observers recounted the aftermath, with dense smoke billowing into the sky while emergency teams raced to reach the scene.
