Breaking! Two Killed as Plane Crashes into Bus
Two people were tragically killed on Friday when a small plane crashed onto a major avenue in São Paulo, Brazil's economic capital, before skidding into a bus, according to authorities.
It remains unclear if the aircraft was attempting an emergency landing shortly after takeoff. Firefighter chief Ronaldo Melo explained that the plane slid hundreds of meters along the avenue before colliding with the bus and exploding.
The pilot and the sole passenger of the plane were killed in the crash, which occurred shortly after the King Air F90 took off from Campo de Marte Airport, a facility handling domestic flights. Meanwhile, passengers on the bus managed to escape, though six sustained injuries, Melo confirmed.
Images broadcast on local television showed thick plumes of smoke billowing into the air, although firefighters quickly managed to bring the blaze under control. Investigators are currently at the scene, photographing and interviewing witnesses in an effort to determine the exact cause of the crash.
The authorities have not yet released further details on the incident.
