Voepass plane crash leaves no survivors, haunting last messages emerge
On Friday, August 9, in Brazil, a Voepass ATR-72 passenger plane crashed. There were 58 passengers and four crew members on board. Tragically, no one survived the crash. One of the passengers wrote to her family expressing fear for her life and sent a photo to her loved ones.
Voepass Flight 2283 departed on Friday, August 9, from Cascavel Airport in the Parana region of southern Brazil. The plane was expected to land at Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo. Minutes before reaching its destination, the plane crashed in a residential area in Vinhedo, on the outskirts of São Paulo.
One of the passengers on the doomed flight, Rosana Xavier, sent a troubling message to her family just before the tragedy, reports the "Daily Mail".
"We will arrive in the rain. I am afraid of this flight, I swear. The plane is old," Rosana wrote. A minute later, she added: "There is a broken seat. I swear. Chaos," the SMS read.
Rosana's mother, Rosemeire Xavier, told Brazilian TV journalists that she instructed her daughter to read verses from the Bible. Worried, the 23-year-old took a photo of herself while on the plane and sent it to her family members minutes before the crash.
At the scene of the tragedy, rescuers found the bodies of all the passengers – 34 men and 28 women. Among them were the first pilot Danilo Romano and his assistant Humberto de Silva. By Tuesday morning, August 13, authorities had managed to identify 17 victims.
