ATW Daily News, "Numerous
fatalities feared in TAM A320 Brazil crash"
A
TAM A320 skidded off a wet runway at Sao Paulo Congonhas
last night, crashing into buildings and bursting into flame,
and all 169 passengers and six crewmembers onboard were feared
dead, according to Sao Paulo State Gov. Jose Serra.
The accident
reportedly occurred during a driving rainstorm as the aircraft
attempted to land on a runway that has been criticized as
being too short. The Sao Paulo fire department said there
also were injuries and possibly fatalities among people on
the ground.
The A320 was arriving from Porto Alegre as Flight 3054, TAM
said in a statement. Leonardi Mota, a spokesperson with airport
authority Infraero, said it barreled over a busy highway into
a gas station and a cargo building owned by the airline.
