Fourteen individuals lost their lives in a plane crash in the Brazilian Amazon’s tourist town of Barcelos as the aircraft attempted to land in stormy weather. The small plane’s pilot struggled with heavy rain and low visibility, unintentionally starting the landing halfway down the runway, resulting in the crash, according to Amazonas state security secretary Vinicius Almeida. All 12 passengers and two crew members perished in the accident, with initial investigations suggesting they were Brazilian men traveling for sport fishing. The crash occurred during peak fishing season in the region, which attracts tourists interested in catching tropical river species. Authorities are conducting investigations into the tragic incident.
