We can only look at our screen in horror tonight as the story unfolds of the Airbus tragedy in Sao Paulo, Brasil. Horrific loss of 276 passengers and 20 bystanders as the plane overshot the controversially short runway went through a motorway and hit a petrol station exploding in a fireball.
Strong thoughts and condolences..

Early the news flash said one dead now the horror has been released... it couldn't have been much worse. .. They say that air port has a dangerously short runway but at the moment the feeling is stunned grief according to our late news.

Just seen it, they estimate 200+ dead with all the workers in the terminal.

There has been a spout of accidents at that airport too, the news said over the last few years.

Shame

🙁 That's bad, that airport had a history of problems, shame it had come to this.

It was 176 on the plane not 276.. others were killed on the ground.
Apparently large airliners were banned from there because pilots said the runway was too short.. someone made an economic decision to lift that ban.
