Live updates: Brazil passenger plane crash

2024-08-10 06:05:02

One woman in Vinhedo, Brazil, said she heard the plane before she saw it.

“I heard a very loud noise, very close to me. I thought it was a drone. I looked up to the sky and saw the plane spinning,” Nathalie Cicari told CNN Brasil.

In those next few seconds, Cicari said she realized she had no time to run — the plane was too close to where she was standing. She said she ducked just before she heard a loud crashing sound.

Flight tracking data from Flightradar24 shows the plane dropped roughly 17,000 feet in just one minute.

“When I realized it had passed, I went to the balcony and I saw a gigantic black smoke rising,” Cicari said.

Another eyewitness, Felipe Magalhaes, told Reuters he also heard the plane as it was falling. Speaking in Portuguese, he told the news outlet he looked out of his window the moment it crashed.

He said his intention was not to see the wreckage but to try to help people in the neighborhood, according to Reuters.

“My intention was not to see the plane, it was nothing — it was to get the elderly people out of the house. But they didn’t want to leave because of their animals,” Magalhaes said, adding that the plane fell on the roof.
