On the morning of February 7, 2025, a King Air F90 small plane crashed and exploded in Barra Funda, a neighborhood in the city of São Paulo. Inside the aircraft, Márcio Louzada Carpena and Gustavo Carneiro Medeiros died on the spot, six people were injured on the ground and another person had an anxiety crisis and was taken to hospital.[1][2] The circumstances of the disaster are still being investigated by the police and Cenipa.
The accident
[edit]The plane took off from Campo de Marte at 7:17 a.m. on its way to Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, but about a minute later it crashed and exploded on Avenida Marquês de São Vicente, at number 1 874, near Marginal Tietê, hitting a bus with 30 passengers and a bus stop. "The plane hit a tree and sped down the avenue at high speed until it hit the vehicle," Band reported.[3][4][5]
"An explosion was heard. A large cloud of black smoke could be seen in the distance over the city," reported G1, adding that 'a witness who was at the scene at the time said that, before the crash, he saw the plane hit a tree and start pouring kerosene'. Another man said that "the traffic light was closed, so if it had been open, the tragedy would have been greater, it would have hit several cars. There was a lot of traffic at the time and luckily the light was closed".[2]
"In a live interview for Primeiro Impacto, Military Police Major Felipe Neves said that everything indicates that the accident happened after a forced landing attempt," SBT reported.[6]
International repercussions
[edit]The accident was noticed international vehicles like CNN, The New York Times and AP News.[7][8][9]
