Plane crash in Brazil: Airline flight number: Plane crash in Brazil: How an airline mix-up saved two people’s lives. Details here

The plane crash in Brazil, which killed all 62 people on board, has once again raised doubts about the safety of air travel. But amid all the despair, there is one incident that shows how hiccups can sometimes save lives.

Two travelers named Adriano Assis and Jose Felipe said there was a mix-up with the airline and they were unable to board the doomed flight, according to a report in the New York Post.

Ultimately, the mistakes ensured that it did not end tragically.

Brazilian authorities on Saturday completed the recovery of the bodies of the 62 people who died when their plane crashed. At the same time, experts began examining the black boxes of the doomed plane to determine the cause of the crash.

Videos showed the ATR 72-500 plane in a terrifying downward spiral on Friday before it crashed into a residential area in the city of Vinhedo, about 80 kilometers northwest of Brazil’s financial capital Sao Paulo.

The plane, owned by Voepass airline, crashed almost vertically, landed on its belly and burst into flames. The impact was so violent that it was almost “flattened,” said Sao Paulo firefighter Lieutenant Olivia Perroni Cazo. “A total of 62 bodies (34 men and 28 women) were recovered and taken to the morgue in Sao Paulo for identification and delivery to their families,” the regional government said on Saturday evening. Two have already been identified by their fingerprints. Vinhedo’s mayor Dario Pacheco said they were the pilot and co-pilot.

The twin-engine turboprop aircraft, operated by ATR, was flying from Cascavel in the southern state of Paraná to Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo.

Experts from the Brazilian Center for the Investigation and Prevention of Aircraft Accidents (CENIPA) have begun analyzing two black boxes recovered from the wreckage that contain cabin conversations and data from the flight, said the center’s director, Marcelo Moreno.

The Brazilian Air Force said it would release a preliminary report “estimated within 30 days.”
