News Americas, BRASILIA, Brazil, Thurs. July 14, 2011: Sixteen lives have been lost in Brazil after a twin-engine aircraft crashed on wasteland between two Recife neighbourhoods – Piedade and Boa Viagem.
Authorities are now investigating the crash in north-east Brazil. The crew had reported problems almost immediately after take-off from the city of Recife, officials said and the pilot had apparently tried to land on the beach near Recife, but the plane came down on an empty lot and burst into flames.
The twin-engined L410 was operated by Noar Airlines and was en route to Mossoro via Natal.
