Even with ever-improving technology, we seem to have constant grim reminders of the catalog of air disasters recorded in the annals of commercial aviation. Sadly, few survive a plane crash, such is the destructive force of an event of this nature. And there have been some truly awful air accidents across the world.
On Friday, August 9, a devastating passenger plane crash occurred outside the Brazilian city of São Paulo. The regional plane was carrying 58 passengers and 4 crew members from the state of Parana to São Paulo when it lost signal and began losing altitude. A minute and a half later, it crashed in a residential neighborhood, killing everyone on board. No one on the ground was injured, although it destroyed part of a family home while several people were in the house. The cause of the crash is still a total mystery, but the plane's two black boxes have been recovered and sent to laboratories for analysis.
Sadly, there have been many similarly tragic air accidents over the years. Click through to learn about the deadliest passenger plane crashes in history.
