Eight Reported Lost In Brazilian Lear 35 Accident

Jet Down On Takeoff In Sao Paulo

ANN REALTIME REPORTING 11.04.07 1830 EDT: At least eight people were killed when a Learjet 35 air taxi crashed on takeoff Sunday from a Sao Paulo, Brazil airport.

According to the Associated Press, it is not known how many persons were onboard the Reali Taxi Aereo aircraft, or how many victims there may have been on the ground.

The aircraft impacted two houses in a working class neighborhood near Campo de Marte airport, said Infraero spokeswoman Lucia Ferreira, destroying one and heavily damaging the second. Witnesses told Brazilian media the aircraft was turning back to the airport when it went down.

Weather conditions at the time were cloudy with light rain, according to those witnesses.

The accident is the latest to strike Brazil's troubled aviation industry, and comes less than four months after the worst aviation disaster in the country's history. As ANN reported, 199 people were killed when a TAM Airlines A320 ran off the runway during landing July 17 at Sao Paulo's Congonhas Airport.
