A friend of mine, lost a co-worker on the crash.
And another friend of mine, almost lost his girlfriend, she was going from Porto Alegre (where i live) to SP, but last minute, she changed her flight to today.


Itīs that airportīs fault.
That runway is NOT big enough or modern enough for big planes like the AirBus. It needs more space there.
Itīs unacceptable to have a airport like in the biggest town in southamerica.
Itīs looks like a Bus Station, for christīs sake.

and yeah.. itīs pretty bad.
weīre looking at over 200 deaths, at this point.
Almost 0% chance of any survivors.

Itīs a sad day...
