A passenger plane crashed Friday evening, in a gated, residential neighborhood in Vinhedo, about 50 miles north of Saó Paulo.
There have been no known casualties on the ground.
There were 4 crew and 58 passengers. It killed everyone aboard. The plane was an ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop that was operated by the Brazilian airline Voepass.
The plane was flying at altitude 17,000 ft (5,200 m) before stalling and entering a flat spin. Its descent was about 13:22 BRT.

Six were oncologists. This congress was the XV Brazilian Congress of Clinical Oncology, one of the largest and most important medical events in the field of oncology in the country.
A family dog was also killed.
17 Near Misses
Seven additional doctors had caught an earlier flight. And at least 10 passengers missed their plane, after waiting at the wrong gate at Cascavel Airport.
Unfortunately, there was no survivors among the 62 people on board.
From the Associated Press
Local authorities said the bodies of the pilot, Danilo Santos Romano, and his co-pilot, Humberto de Campos Alencar e Silva, were the first to be identified by forensics experts.
Sao Paulo state government said in a statement Saturday evening that the remains of all the victims had been recovered. There were 34 male and 28 female bodies in the wreckage, it said.
The ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop operated by Brazilian airline Voepass was headed for Guarulhos international airport in Sao Paulo with 58 passengers and four crew members when it went down Friday in Vinhedo, 78 kilometers (49 miles) north of the metropolis. Voepass said three passengers who held Brazilian identification also carried Venezuelan documents and one had Portuguese.
At least eight physicians were aboard, Paraná state Gov. Ratinho Júnior said. Four professors at Unioeste university in western Paraná were also confirmed dead.

From Dom
Dom had reported that the doctors were attending a meeting, SBTMO 2024, who wrote the above statement embedded in the video. He is incorrect. SBTMO specifically denied this on Twitter/X, just two hours ago:

I asked Patricia if there was any suspected foul play. She investigated and found that it may have been ice on the wing that spun the plane down. To date, there have been no reports of suspicious activity regarding the crash, which is under investigation.
Theory: Ice on the Wings
I was pleased to read this explanation and detailed history of the most likely scenario that caused this accident. Thank you,
, for bringing us this important viewpoint from a pilot.The above is confirmed by a Wikipedia report on craft data:
In the area of the crash, there was an active SIGMET advisory for severe icing from 12,000 to 21,000 feet (3,700 to 6,400 m).[4][5][16]Meteorological reports at the time of the accident indicated that areas of turbulence, thunderstorms and icing were present in areas surrounding the crash.[17] The Brazilian Air Force said in a statement that the flight did not declare an emergency.[18]
According to Flightradar24, the aircraft was cruising at 17,000 feet (5,200 m) when, at 13:21 local time, the aircraft experienced a brief loss of altitude then briefly gained altitude.[17] Shortly thereafter, the aircraft entered what appeared to be a flat spin[19][20] and a steep and terminal descent. The last data transmission and loss of radar contact occurred at 13:22, before the crash. ADS-B data indicated that the aircraft had reached a maximum vertical descent rate of 24,000 feet per minute (120 m/s).[17][21][18]
A “Flat Spin”
If you fly, you probably know that getting out of a flat spin is something taught in flight school. To remember the order of things, there is the acronym, “PARE”:
No doubt, the pilots did everything possible to recover their aircraft and when that wasn't possible, it appears that they avoided any loss of person on land. The plane landed in a condominium community, in a back yard. No one on the ground was hurt.

The Plane - ATR 72-6
According to Wikipedia, ATR was a joint venture company founded “in 1981 between Aérospatialeof France (now Airbus) and Aeritalia(now Leonardo) of Italy.[5] Its main products are the ATR 42 and ATR 72aircraft. ATR has sold more than 1,600 aircraft and has over 200 operators in more than 100 countries.”
Efficient and less costly than other planes, there are two seats per row. Its capacity is 68.
According to ATR-Aircraft.com:
First choice for operators
The ATR 72-600 is the market-leading regional aircraft, offering seating up to 78 passengers. Celebrated by the airline and financing community for its unrivalled fuel efficiency and low level of CO2 emissions, it also offers low operating costs to maximise airlines’ profitability and accessibility to the most challenging airfield profiles (extreme temperatures, high altitudes, short, narrow and unpaved runways, steep approach), offering essential connectivity to the most remote communities.
Featuring state-of-the-art technology and a spacious cabin, the ATR 72-600 connects people and businesses in a modern, responsible and reliable way.
It looks like a reliable plane.

LET US PRAY
Holy Father of All Creation,
We pray for the families of those who were lost, especially the spouses, children, friends, and co-workers. Guard their hearts and minds, Father God! Lead and guide them in all Your Ways. Comfort them in the eternity their loved one now spends in Your presence, and give them an inkling of that peace!
Pour out Your Holy Spirit in great measure!
Sent them the help they need, surround them with love, and strengthen their families and communities! As they struggle to make sense of this, lead more people to find You, take comfort in You, and also to repent of their sins and take comfort in Your Might and Majesty!
We pray this in the Name of Jesus.
Amen.
Thank you for caring and sharing!

I don't believe ice in wings..Brazil is below or near Equator. 7 Cancer Researchers who were said to be onto an answer to cancer were on that plane. Reminds me of the Aids/Ebola experts about to make a huge announcement disappeared over Malaysia and then the Canadian Medical students who were all killed enriuge to Canada from Cuba. They were researching Covid. Somethings rotten in Denmark...All these countries where these "accidents" happened are under Socialists control.
I watched a video last night about who was behind the Kennedy murders. They said I think it was 70 or 80% of plane crashes are because someone on the plane is on a hit list.
