Sunday, August 18, 2024 - The black box recording from a Brazilian plane that crashed killing all 62 people on board reveals the last words from the pilots.
Investigators now have the full transcript of the cockpit
audio from the Voepass ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop which plunged from the sky
in the city of Vinhedo last week.
The two-hour recording indicates the co-pilot noticed a
steep loss of altitude around a minute before the crash, according to TV Globo.
He then asked the pilot what was going on and said the
aircraft needed "more power" to be stabilised.
Brazil’s air accident investigation centre Cenipa did not
comment on the contents of the TV Globo report.
The plane, an ATR-72 turboprop, was bound for Sao Paulo from
Cascavel, in the southern state of Parana, when it crashed at around 1.30pm in
Vinhedo, some 50 miles northwest of Sao Paulo.
The crash killed all on board but no one on the ground was
hurt.
Video shared on social media showed the plane spinning out
of control as it plunged down behind a cluster of trees near houses, sending a
large plume of black smoke into the air.
