This is an impressive low flypass of a Boeing 757.
A TAM Airlines Airbus 320 carrying 176 people crashed while attempting to land in heavy rain at Sao Paulo’s Congonhas Airport. The Sao Paulo fire department said at least 200 people, including some on the ground, were dead at the scene.
Witnesses said the plane skidded across a major road at rush hour. Reports that the plane struck a gas station could not be confirmed, but a massive fire broke out. The plane apparently struck a building bearing the airline’s logo at the small domestic airport in the heart of the city.
The airport is notorious for having short, slippery runways. The runway was recently resurfaced but the cutting of grooves to channel rainwater off the pavement had not been completed. A Brazilian court in February banned large jets at the busy airport because of safety concerns. But an appeals court overruled the ban, saying it would hurt business and that the safety problems did not warrant halting air traffic.
