Plane crash in Brazil kills all 61 passengers

Brazilian television network GloboNews showed footage of the plane drifting downward vertically, spiraling as it fell.

I can't imagine the fear these people felt as the plane was going down - I don't even know what to say this Is sad, I can't imagine what the families are going through

I’m an internet expert that likes to talk without any knowledge or experience.

But from the 1 second of footage I reviewed, it looks like the plane was in a flat spin. It looks like one of the engines might have gone out which led to the flat spin to begin with.

RIP people; I pray that your families find peace after their mourning.

Ah, winter conditions in southern hemisphere. As ice accumulates, disruption of lift happens across the lift-creating surfaces. That is why de-ice happens prior to takeoff as an operation. Rest in peace 🙏

Those narrow and small wings on these ATR airplanes will increase the potential for change in the low pressure air dynamic on the upper side of the wings when icing occurs, this creates to high levels of low pressure over the ailerons and flaps.
What happens then is that this increased level of low pressure initiates or sucks the ailerons and flaps upwards, this leads to loss of control for the airplane!
Other high wing 2 engine prop planes like Bombardier/De-Havilland Dash/DHC 6, 7 and 8 planes with much wider and longer wings does not have this problems in icing conditions.
Everybody within the aviation industry knows that the ATR`s have this problem!
Less wing area will tolerate less ice in other words !
These ATR planes was banned by pilots in the USA at one point because of this!
