Part 5/6:
The Fatal Collision
As the pilots aligned for landing, they inadvertently flew towards transmission towers that were unmarked due to regulatory requirements. The visibility of the wires was compromised by the local vegetation, leading to a catastrophic collision with one of the cables.
This collision resulted in a violent deceleration, causing the aircraft to spiral and crash shortly thereafter, around 3:30 PM.
Aftermath and Public Response
Initial reports from the artist's press office claimed that all occupants were safe. However, this was soon contradicted by emergency responders, who confirmed that all onboard suffered fatal injuries. The tragic news sent shockwaves throughout Brazil, with millions mourning the loss of the beloved artist and others involved in the flight.
