A plane carrying 62 people crashed near Sao Paulo in Brazil on Friday.<\/p>\n
The deceased included 58 passengers and four crew members<\/p>\n
Although it was initially not known what happened to them, confirmation came in the late hours of the day that all the 62 on board died.<\/p>\n
The plane, Flight 2283, fell in the city of Vinhedo, the airline that operates the plane, Voepass Linhas A\u00e9reas, said.<\/p>\n
Local officials near the crash site said there were no survivors, although only one home in the local condominium complex, the residential area where the crash occurred, had been damaged while none of the residents were hurt.<\/p>\n
Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, confirmed the crash while speaking during an event shortly after the crash.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to be the bearer of really bad news,\u201d the president said, stressing the fact of the crash and asking for a minute of silence for the victims.<\/p>\n
Airline Voepass said the plane, which had taken off from Cascavel, in the state of Parana, and was bound for Sao Paulo\u2019s main international airport, crashed in Vinhedo, a town about 80 kilometres northwest of Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n
The aircraft was listed by flight tracker FlightRadar24 as an ATR 72-500 turboprop.<\/p>\n
