A small plane crash in Sao Paulo, Brazil, early on Friday morning resulted in the deaths of both occupants aboard while injuring several ground personnel. Six individuals, including a motorcyclist and bus passengers, sustained minor injuries. The incident occurred shortly after takeoff from Campo de Marte Airport, striking a major road in the Barra Funda neighborhood. Firefighters responded swiftly, but the fire was aggressive, engulfing both the plane and a bus. Social media captured the dramatic aftermath, but the cause of the crash remains unclear.
Firefighters arrived on the scene just before 7:30 a.m., finding the plane and the bus on fire, Captain Melo said. The fire was very aggressive.
The bus passengers had all escaped the vehicle before the fire started, he said.
Videos on social media showed the remnants of the plane in flames, as well as a large, black plume of smoke rising into the air.
It's unclear what caused the incident, but the plane appeared to have crashed shortly after taking off.
