Plane crash in Brazil carrying 61 people was 'rare'

“It had gone through its safety checks, it was regularly maintained and it was operating on scheduled flight by qualified pilots.”
The aircraft that crashed in São Paulo was "no less" dangerous than any other aircraft, says former airline pilot Emma Henderson.

62 people died! We here in São Paulo are shocked by this accident and the loss of these people, among them there were many doctors who were on their way to a medical event. This tragedy may be linked to the neglect and negligence of many Brazilian airlines, which profit from expensive tickets and fly aircraft without proper maintenance and deliver low-quality services! Brazil and São Paulo are in mourning!

What's the point in an interview where the guest just says we don't know anything yet and need to wait for the report. Not willing to give any information or speculation.

There were 8 cancer doctors on-board. That's weird

[@lilianlisoficial]

Negativo! Apenas 02 médicas eram oncológicas.

[@doloresbecker756]

Yes, I just learned about that today. i understood that some of these docs were going to present their findings/studies and mechanisms confirming the dangers of recent controversial bio-tech platforms. Makes me suspect foul play could have been involved?

[@alabamared2568]

That pilot isn't telling it all... Because the ATR 72 has a flight pattern it's around 170 . She didn't say anything however the day of this accident there was an significant icing sigmet alert for Fl 120-200 ft I can almost bet icing had a lot to do with this accident. And this isn't the first ATR 72 that icing has brought down!!

[@a24396]

Actually some good reporting here. And the perspective of the pilot was very helpful... I especially liked her defusing any potential for undue or alarmist type concerns.

@@briancarno8837 It's going on three years... Russia is an international pariah, they're running out of soldiers, and they're nearly done squandering the Soviet stockpile of equipment they had. No closer to victory than they were last year. Meanwhile, Ukraine still resists them, continues to increase their capabilities every day, and has actually invaded Russia - seizing Russian territory and urban areas... And Russia's entire army is now stuck in Ukraine, and unable to stop this counter invasion... How would you describe things? Looks to me like Ukraine is doing well...

I’m a pilot. Let me tell you these things do not happen. What happened was a very rare very extraordinarily incident that requires a lot of study to understand how it could possibly occur.

[@2760ade]

The pilot in this report doesn't really say anything. Bit pointless. Will wait to see what Blancolirio has to say!

[@Humannondancer]

I sub'ed to the Blancolirio channel some time ago. Juan's pretty good on early flight incident analysis with no drama -that is after trying several others.

[@notaseriousbeaver]

"with no drama" could you mean Dan? My god he is a drama queen, even interfering with crash investigation...

[@Humannondancer]

@@notaseriousbeaver Agreed. That's _the_ main drama queen I was thinking of. Damn a typo in the OP it's Blancolirio.

I'm sorry I don't trust any plane,thoses kind of planes can go wrong when its up to high, the engine's are different are because of that it can't Handel a higher altitude the engines don't have the power to Handel that!

That's 3rd world country!

[@notaseriousbeaver]

No no, if you want to point out meaningless BS, at least be factual. Brazil is not the third world, and not the first world either. Hopefully you can figure out the rest

[@frontmac]

With all due respect, but to call Brazil a "3rd world country" you must be living on the 50's, Brazil is by far the best country in the world, but it is certainly not a 3rd World Country, not economically, and specially based in their industry, their worst problem is corruption, which affect all great economies in the world.

[@RandomNPC001]

One of the largest economies in the world is a 3rd world country?! Do not confuse political corruption and mismanagement with being an undeveloped country!!

[@TheKmonta]

You obviously have never been to Brazil have you?? What an ignorant response to an accident. An accident can happen anywhere....that's why they are called "accidents" . Your arrogance and ignorance are showing.....

[@luismendes1087]

you clearly don't know nothing about Brazil and His historical and very well developed aircraft industry. We have the thirdiest market of aircrafts in the world with the Embraer company and one of the best centers of kwowlegde on aircraft enginering in the entire wolrd. besides theres is planes of embraer flying for the various tipes of services around the wolrd.
