Brazil Plane Crash Kills 62 People: Black Boxes Under Examination
After the plane crash in Brazil in which 62 people lost their lives, authorities are investigating the causes of the crash by examining the black boxes. Details about the mystery behind the crash and possible causes are in the news.
The plane crash in Brazil, in which 62 people lost their lives, caused deep sorrow all over the world. Authorities trying to unravel the mystery behind the crash began examining the black boxes shortly after the crash. Terrifying footage of the crash was recorded as the plane plummeted from the sky. Experts trying to understand behind the scenes and the causes of the crash are trying to answer important questions about how the accident happened.
The incident occurred in São Paulo. The ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop aircraft belonging to the Brazilian airline Voepass was recorded by a camera before it crashed. The footage shows the plane turning but falling. Smoke was seen rising after the plane hit a residential area. Although the exact cause of the plane’s crash has not yet been determined, experts are considering possible causes.
How did the plane crash?
Investigations following the crash suggest that the plane entered a stall-spin (sudden loss of altitude and spinning). However, the real question is at what altitude they entered this situation and why they could not get out of it. The fact that the plane has a 14-year history raises questions about whether its age could cause such an accident. Experts point to warnings of severe icing in the area, which may have caused a rapid buildup of ice on the wings.
Possible Causes and Investigations
The possibility of icing could have caused the stall speed to increase as a result of the accumulation of ice so fast and so much that it changed the design of the plane’s wings. However, it is emphasized that there is always more than one cause and it may take time to understand the causes of the accident. It is noted that although this type of aircraft is popular worldwide, major US airlines do not use this model. However, this does not diminish the seriousness of the accident and investigations are crucial to understand exactly why the plane crashed.
Grieving Families and the Future of Investigations
Following the accident, the families of the 62 people who lost their lives are still in shock. It is not known how long the investigations will last, but the examination of the black boxes is seen as an important step towards clarifying the causes of the accident. In the aftermath of the accident, it is thought that international aviation safety standards should be reviewed. This tragic incident once again demonstrates how vital safety measures are in the aviation industry.
