Vinhedo, Brazil: Emergency crews on Saturday began removing the victims of a plane crash in Brazil's Sao Paulo state that killed all 62 people aboard, as authorities sifted through the wreckage to try to determine what caused the plane's dramatic plunge.
Videos showed the ATR 72-500 plane in a sickening downward spin Friday before it crashed into a residential area of the town of Vinhedo, some 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Sao Paulo city.
The Voepass airlines said Saturday that verification of the passenger list showed there were 62 people on board, not 61 as reported earlier. All 62 were Brazilian; there were no survivors.
While some houses at the crash site were damaged, no injuries or deaths were reported among their residents.
The crash transformed the plane's fuselage into a mass of twisted iron. As of Saturday morning, 16 bodies had been removed, firefighters said.
