The tragic plane crash that occurred last Friday on the outskirts of São Paulo has left no survivors, with 62 bodies now recovered from the crash site, the state government has confirmed. The victims included 34 men and 28 women, with only the pilot and co-pilot identified so far. The passenger plane plummeted 17,000 feet in a single minute, killing everyone on board. The cause of the accident, however, is still unclear.
The ill-fated flight had left Cascavel, in the Brazilian state of Paraná, and was heading for Guarulhos, in the state of São Paulo. Disturbing images of the plane's descent and the subsequent fiery remains have circulated on social networks.
The task of recovering and identifying the bodies has been challenging due to their conditions, with officials working meticulously on every row of the aircraft. To assist in the identification process, the victims' families have been asked to provide medical documentation such as X-ray, medical and dental examinations.
Details have begun to emerge about the passengers on board. Among the dead is a three-year-old girl and her father, according to the Santa Catarina Prosecutor's Office. The flight, operated by regional airline Voepass, had all passengers with Brazilian documents, with four victims holding dual nationalities: three Venezuelans and one Portuguese. Among the Venezuelan victims was a woman, her mother and her four-year-old son, who were traveling with their dog.
In memory of the victims, the State of São Paulo has decreed three days of official mourning. There are plans to hold an evening in Cascavel, the town from which the ill-fated flight took off.
