Beyond being incredably sad it is quite alarming. Obviously we will give the investigators time to sort things out but I'm sure we'll all hope to learn something from the unfortunate and tragic event in the jungle.
As world air traffic rises we seem forced to depend more and more on high tech and ATS to avoid these problems, especially in target rich envirnments so to hear of such a tragedy in a remote area of the Amazon is most disturbing.
Does anyone know if this is a busy area? Was it a military EMB or US Bizjet?
Guess theres still so much more to learn. Hearts out to the folks in Brazil and at GOL.
