Global Aviation News Article
September 29, 2006
Associated Press, "Brazilian Boeing 737 jet missing over Amazon jungle"
A Brazilian jetliner with 155 people aboard was reported missing Friday over the Amazon jungle, aviation authorities said. Initially, the officials said they believed Gol airlines flight 1907 had collided with a smaller plane after the jetliner left the jungle city of Manaus in the remote south western region of Para state. News reports said the plane reportedly struck a Brazilian-made Legacy, a smaller executive jet.
But authorities said later they were no longer certain the disappearance was caused by a collision with a private jet as they earlier maintained.
"During the afternoon there was another incident with a Legacy airplane, made by Embraer," federal aviation authorities said in a statement issued early Saturday morning. "It is impossible to confirm that there is a relation between the incident which caused the (Legacy) crew to perform an emergency landing in Cachimbo and the disappearance of the Gol airplane."
