The plane crash near São Paulo, Brazil on August 9, 2024, tragically claimed the lives of all 61 people on board. The crash involved a regional Voepass ATR-72 aircraft, which was en route from Cascavel to São Paulo’s international airport. It crashed in the town of Vinhedo after what aviation experts described as a flat spin. All the passengers and crew had Brazilian-issued documents, and there were no immediate reports of any U.S. citizens being among the deceased.
Several of the passengers were doctors heading to a seminar, and authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash. The plane’s black box has been recovered, which may provide crucial information for the investigation.
