Unresolved Mystery: Inside the Brazilian Plane Crash Investigation

Authorities investigating the Brazilian plane crash that killed 62 people have obtained the black box transcript. However, the transcript does not clarify the cause of the crash. The incident involving an ATR-72 plane from Voepass occurred near Vinhedo. Speculations suggest possible icing on the wings.

Authorities in Brazil are probing last week's tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of all 62 passengers and crew. The full transcript from the black box has been retrieved, but it does not provide a clear explanation for the disaster, reported local TV station Globo on Wednesday.

The cockpit voice recorder transcript reveals that the pilot and copilot were alarmed by a steep loss of altitude just a minute before the crash. TV Globo cited unnamed sources involved in the investigation, noting that the plane required 'more power' to stabilize, though the audio offers no specific cause.

The incident, involving an ATR-72 turboprop operated by Voepass, occurred as the aircraft was en route to São Paulo from Cascavel. The plane crashed in Vinhedo, northwest of São Paulo. Despite the crash being fatal for all on board, miraculously, no one on the ground was harmed.
