What was the largest plane crash in Brazil?

The largest air disaster in the history of our country occurred in 2007 on the Tam 3054 flight.

The current Latam Airlines Brazil was using an Airbus A320-233 to take a route from Porto Alegre international airport to CONGONHAS airport. When he tried to land, the plane could not brake, he exceeded the borders of the 35L track, planted on Washington Luís Avenue and eventually collided with the old Tam Express building and a petrol station right next to it. Overall, there were 187 passengers and killed crew, as well as 12 people who died on the ground due to the impact of the plane.

The accident was studied by the center of investigation and prevention of aeronautical accidents, an agency affiliated to the Brazilian Air Force, and had its final resolution only in 2009. The pilot error was made irregularly configuring the lens, Lack of Brazilian airport infrastructure, missing Groovings on the congonas track and the excessive autonomy applied to aircraft computers.

The second largest

A year earlier, in 2006, there had been the first largest plane crash in Brazil. The 1907 goal flight clashed with an Embraer Legacy 600 and ended up falling while flew to the Mato Grosso region. The airline was using a Boeing 737-8eh to take a trip from Manaus to Rio de Janeiro with a scale in Brasilia.

All 154 passengers and the crew on board died after the plane shocked in the air and fell into a closed forest area. Already the inheritance, despite having undergone serious damage to the wing and left horizontal stabilizer, has landed safely with its seven members of the uninhabited crew in the air base of the tube.
