Imagine missing that flight, only to hear about it later on the news that nobody survived. What a surreal feeling must that be!

Our Prayers and sympathy for the people of Brazil. From the Philippines 🙏😢

Many passengers were returning from a conference, we lost countless doctors and researchers in this accident!
There was a team of 12 professors from a university.

That cockpit recording is going to be very haunting.

For those who missed that flight, it was not your time to go.

All 61 lives were perished in a blink of an eye. May you all rest in peace😪

Man, can’t even imagine how it feels to miss that flight.

This clip was of the "last moments" of the fall - the actual plummet lasted almost a minute.
Can't even begin to imagine the horror...!!
Rest In Peace 🙏🙏

Terrifying! I couldn't imagine how the 61 people felt when the plane was going down.

[vladipp]

so sad, it looks like it stalls in slow motion.

[laurencaulton]

So sorry for this terrible loss of so many people.

[junniormattos]

There was a 3 years old girl with her father in the airplane :/ she was going to spend the father's day with him 😢 I hope God protect and help the families and friends of the people that died :(

[Shell_Michelle]

My heart hurts. That pilot tried to help.

I’ve flown many places & my trip to Cuba 🇨🇺 last year
I will never forget everyone clapping 👏🏽 when the plane landed. We literally take moments like this for granted all the time.
This tragedy is so heartbreaking 💔
Rest in peace all on board 🕊️

Remember 30 years ago, an American Eagle also an ATR 72 also horribly stalled and fatally crashed due to icing making the wings unaerodynamic.

[aeri]

Condolences to the victims's families, it must have been heartbreaking.

[fastfiddler]

I'm a pilot and I'm thankful that I've never had to fly a passenger turboprop. Compared to jet aircraft, they do not have as of robust icing protection, yet they have to fly at altitudes where the icing is often the worst. I'd get on a Dash-8/Q400, but you will never see me on an ATR.

[loitersquadX]

This is crazy. Doctors and researchers business people died. 62. This doesnt make sense at all

[griffithtvr]

Anyone who knows anything about aviation knows that the ATR has a big problem regarding icing, that's why the are sold to counties in the south, unfortunately icing also happens in tropical regions
