Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva decries ‘sad news’ and offers condolences to families of victims.
A plane carrying 62 people has crashed outside the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, killing all onboard, local officials have said.
The Brazilian airline Voepass had confirmed on Friday that the plane crashed northeast of the city of Sao Paulo.
Officials in the town Valinhos said on Friday there were no survivors, and only one home in a local residential complex had been damaged in the area where the plane fell but none of the residents were hurt.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva had also said earlier that it appears that all passengers are presumed dead.
“I must be the bearer of very bad news, and I wanted all to stand up so we can take one minute of silence because a plane just fell in the town of Vinhedos in Sao Paulo with 58 passangers and 4 crew members and it seems that all of them passed,” he said at an event shortly after the crash. “So I’d like to ask for a minute of silence for the victims.”
