CCTV Shows Moment When Brazilian Aircraft Crashed Into Sao Paulo Street Before Turning Into Fireball
A small aircraft crashed on an avenue in Sao Paulo on Friday morning shortly after taking off from a nearby private airport, killing the pilot and the plane’s owner, authorities said. The two were the only people on board.
The plane went down in the busy Barra Funda neighborhood on the west side of the city, near its downtown.
A piece of the plane hit a bus, injuring one woman inside, while a motorcyclist was struck by another piece of wreckage, the firefighters’ statement said.
Both were receiving medical care.
A later statement said that four more people who were injured were taken to hospitals in the area with minor injuries.
Gov. Tarcísio de Freitas said on X that the two dead were the pilot, Gustavo Medeiros, and the owner of the aircraft, Márcio Carpena.
The plane slammed into the avenue a few meters (yards) past an intersection, where a line of cars was waiting to move forward.
The avenue is home to office buildings and there is a key bus, train and subway station nearby.
There was no word as to what had caused the plane to lose altitude less than 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the private airport from where it had departed a few minutes earlier.
It was bound to Porto Alegre, in the southern Rio Grande do Sul state.
The Brazilian Air Force said it would investigate the accident as fast as possible.
Brazil has had a number of deadly, small aircraft crashes in recent years, including one last August in Vinhedo, near Sao Paulo killing all 72 people on board.
