This link shows multiple cameras of the accident, take a look:

(They also show other planes landing, "velocidade normal" means standard speed, so it is not the plane that crashed... but the other one is)
I'm brazilian (non pilot, flight simulator only) and the press is delighted with the rev-2 problem that was kept out of the media for the last days and is now the big hit... The public is SURELY gonna think that the plane was DAMAGED and THAT caused the accident, therefore putting all responsability to TAM. (so the government will again be free of any charge). It's even worse because everyone remebers the TAM-402 flight accident in 1996 that was caused by a reverse deployment just after take-off in the very same city/airport (killing 99 people). So reverse-problem is surely gonna be the blame for a while...
If the rev-2 was inop + bad weather + small runway + almost on weight limit + no groovings = why not divert to SBGR in the VERY SAME city ? SBGR (Guarulhos) has big runways (3700m/3000m). Congonhas (SBSP) has only 1940m/1435m.
Is there any big penalty on the pilot if he chooses to divert the landing to a near airport (on the very same city) ??
