The military and the church run things in South America. Democracy is just a façade and all civilian governments are closely watched by the military.

Ultimately, the government should be blamed for the accident. The corruption, the lack of morals, and commitment to the needs of the nation is a routine occurrence. The lack of appropriate aeronautical infrastructure in the Amazon region is long overdue
