Icy Conditions Or…? Brazil Investigates Why Voepass Plane Went Into Flat Spin Before Crash

Brazil has declared three days of national mourning after a passenger jet crash killed all 61 onboard. The ill-fated aircraft carrying 57 passengers and four crew crashed in Brazil's Sao Paulo state on August 9, the airline said.
The plane, whose last moments were caught on camera, went into a flat spin before crashing into a gated residential community in the city of Vinhedo. Other footage showed a large column of smoke rising from the crash site in what appeared to be a residential area.
The airline Voepass said that its plane, an ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop, was headed for Sao Paulo’s international airport. “The company regrets to inform that all 61 people on board flight 2283 died at the site,” Voepass said in a statement.
At an event in southern Brazil, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva asked the crowd to stand and observe a minute of silence as he shared the news.

[mizzyroro]

This was a flat spin. Nearly impossible to get out of.

[colinmccarthy]

In my eyes there are four things
that caused the Crash.They are:-,
1. Weather Conditions.
2.Human Error.
3.System/Systems Malfunction.
4.Maintenance/Repair History.

Just when I thought AF447 falling like a stone in a deep stall was horrific but to see a commercial plane in a flat spin I cannot imagine. The ATR is very sensitive to ice and they must follow procedures that are memorized to the T or the plane will crash.

[zianeshkasparen]

Might be the rainy, icy conditions that were present at the time.

[Rosemarienahwegezic-wx]

😢very sad god bless the country and the famlies on board

[EduardoCaperig]

Oh my God, so scary! Not even One survived the Plane crash... .

[GleidsonMelo-or]

62 people died! We here in São Paulo are shocked by this accident and the loss of these people, among them there were many doctors who were on their way to a medical event. This tragedy may be linked to the neglect and negligence of many Brazilian airlines, which profit from expensive tickets and fly aircraft without proper maintenance and deliver low-quality services! Brazil and São Paulo are in mourning!

[hhanover]

Once a flat spin develops in an airplane like this one it's over for all on board. Maybe the stall was caused by faulty reaction to sudden power loss. The recorder will tell all.

[Peteristrate]

I've never seen a plane ever fall flat, in a straight line. Is that even possible? I always thought they would glide and then crash as they can't really make a glide landing work.

[Tazjet]

Reuters report Aug 15, that CVR reveals co-pilot shouting confusion what was happenningand they needed more power authorities said it was hard to hear what was being said because engine sound was too loud. Ironic when they demanded more power. I believe the Hydraulic Auxiliary pump engaged the propeller brake so they were accidentally in Hotel mode.

[sarahchisman]

Pray for all the people that died on that flight😢😢

[JayTee]

58 passengers plus 4 flight crews = 62 lives.

[TheShowblox]

Another ATR 72 crash caused by a stall, tragic

[petere]

It's really a big puzzle, an atr42 also suffered a similar incident many years ago

[cycleguy]

Did it just run out of fuel and just dropped like a rock? RIP to all those who lost their lives..so sad 😔!

[secret]

Flew in one and it was terrible and nerve wreaking...especially in stormy bad weather conditions.Id rather they scrap these propeller planes.
