unfortunatly it's not a good one. It wasn't at the Pan american games, it was a plane crash.

I plane crashed a few hours ago in São Paulo, with 175 people inside. Details are still sketchy, but we're looking at possibly over 180 dead.

The plane supposedly skided off the end of the runway, failed to pull up and dove across the avenue below, hitting a building from the same company as the plane's, TAM. There were people in the building and on the street at the time, so nobody's sure of how many people might have been in the way. The place is still burning as i write, so the likelyhood of the firefighters finding any survivors is pretty low.

1 massive plane crash, then mutinys from the air traffic controllers and so on, now another massive plane crash that tops the previous one, all in less than a year. We are so fucked now.

It's a shame, it was such a nice time, with the Pan american games and all. Tragedies suck.
