Shocking video shows the aftermath of the Voepass plane crash near São Paulo, Brazil.
Following the death of all 62 people on board a passenger jet to São Paulo in Brazil , the world has been left reeling from the awful tragedy.
From an Eastern Boeing 737-800 smashing into the mountainous Guangxi area in China to 157 passengers and crew being killed in an Ethiopian Airlines crash, this is a look at some of the world's worst plane tragedies.Brazil, August 2024A Voepass Linhas Aéreas flight plummeted and crashed in the city of Vinhedo, Brazil on Friday, killing all 62 people on board.
Voepass has since revealed that all those on board - including 57 passengers and four crew - were carrying Brazilian-issued documents. Some of the passengers were doctors from Parana heading to a seminar. The close call stemmed from a failed landing attempt in Kauai due to poor visibility that prevented the pilots from spotting the runway at their descent altitude, a memo from the air carrier revealed.
China, March 2022A China Eastern Boeing 737-800 smashed into the mountainous Guangxi area, killing all 132 people on board, while en route from Kunming to Guangzhou in March 2022. The data indicates a vertical descent of 31,000ft per minute or around 350 mph. Altitude data also appeared to show aircraft regain height at around 7,5000ft before beginning its final descent.
Ethiopia, March 2019An Ethiopian Airlines jet crashed shortly after taking off from Addis Ababa on March 10, 2019, killing all 157 passengers and crew on board. The plane was en route to Nairobi. The inquest heard, in a final report from December 2022, that the Ethiopian Airplane Accident Investigation Bureau had found that a flying control system on the Boeing 737 Max aircraft had malfunctioned, causing the aircraft to begin 'repetitive and uncommandable' nose diving which the pilots could not physically control.
Boeing was fined $2.3 billion in 2021 after it was found that the actions of its employees had misled regulators about the control system. The plane crashed into the Java Sea and left 189 people dead. Investigations later pointed to trouble with the automated flight system.
