Video footage shows a passenger plane crashing in Brazil on Friday.

The Associated Press reported that a plane carrying 62 people crashed in a residential area of the Sao Paulo state on Friday.

Footage of the crash circulated across social media on Friday. The video shows the plane falling from the sky as a cloud of smoke rose from the site of the crash.

“Footage of the crash is circulating widely,” journalist Yashar Ali posted on X, formerly Twitter.

The Context

Tens of millions of commercial flights across the globe occur each year, with crashes occurring from time to time. The International Air Transport Association reported in February that, 2023 was the safest year for air travel by many metrics, with one accident for every 1.26 million flights.

What We Know

Many details about the crash, including how many people, if any, were killed or injured or the cause of the crash, remained immediately unclear Friday afternoon.

The AP reported that the airline VoePass said the plane was headed toward Sao Paulo’s international airport when it crashed in the city of Vinhedo. At the time of the accident, 58 passengers and four crew members were aboard the plane.

Firefighters, military police and the civil defense authority responded to the crash, the AP reported.

The plane was flying from Cascavel, Brazil, reported The New York Times.
