00:00All 61 persons including 57 passengers and 4 crew members on board Vopaz Airline plane

00:10Video recordings posted online by eyewitnesses saw the plane lost the ability to continue to fly
00:16and fell directly to the ground with thick smoke billowing immediately.
00:20Vopaz Airline in a news statement few minutes ago said that 61 people have died.
00:26The death toll was amended to 57 passengers and 4 crew members.
00:30Vopaz had initially in a statement said the flight was carrying 50 at passengers and 4
00:35crew members at the time of the crash. The company regrets to inform that all 61 people
00:41on board flight 22A3 died at the site. At this time, Vopaz is prioritizing provision
00:47of unrestricted assistance to the victims' families and effectively collaborating with
00:52authorities to determine the causes of the accident, the airline Vopaz said.
00:56The Brazilian Air Force team will investigate the cause of Friday's
01:00deadly plane crash, the Vinhedo City Hall said in a statement.
01:04Vinhedo City Hall said it has been on the site of the crash offering support to other
01:08emergency responders. It said in the statement that it is waiting for the Air Force team to
01:14arrive, which will be responsible for the investigation, according to CNN.
01:19The fire outbreaks and major risks have already been controlled. The main objective,
01:24from the beginning, was to guarantee the safety of everyone on site and care for possible victims.
01:29With Santa Casa de Vinhedo, Santa Casa de Palinhos and Hospital Velileu prepared to
01:35offer full support, the statement added. Vinhedo City Hall said the bodies of the
01:40plane crash victims will be taken to the Legal Medical Institute in Campinas.

01:50the crash. It was gathered that the Brazilian authorities have found the black box at the
01:54crash site in Brazil, according to the security secretary from Sao Paulo, Galea Medarite.
02:00The security secretary said a medical team is on site and working to identify the victims,
02:06adding that many of the victims' remains are too badly burned for visual identification.
02:12Officials are in the process of contacting family members of the passengers, according Sudarite.

02:22We learned that the Vopaz Airlines flight, on route from Hashtag Castavo to Sao Paulo,
02:27went down shortly before reaching its destination.
02:30Firefighters, military police and the Civil Defense Authority have dispatched teams to
02:35the crash site in Vinhedo. Authorities have sealed off the entrance to the residential
02:40area where the plane went down, as journalists outside watched as official vehicles,
02:45including ambulances, drove in and waited for updates.
02:48I thought it was going to fall in our yard. It was scary, but thank God there were no
02:53victims among the locals. It seems that the 62 people inside the plane were the real victims,
03:00though, a resident told reporters at the crash site.
03:03Video obtained by the Associated Press from a bystander and verified shows athletes to
03:08bodies strewn about flaming pieces of wreckage. Brazilian television network Global News showed
03:14aerial footage of an area with smoke coming out of an obliterated plane fuselage. Additional
03:20footage on Global News earlier showed the plane drifting downward vertically, spiraling as it fell.
03:25That's what I'm going to do, bring the news in a more digital way.
