A terrible plane accident took place in Brazil last week (August 9), in which 62 people died. According to a Reuters report, local TV station Globo said on Wednesday that the officials investigating the accident now have the full transcript of the ‘black box’. However, this transcript has not yet revealed the cause of the accident. TV Globo, citing the investigating officials, said that the transcript of the cockpit voice recorder shows that the pilot and co-pilot talked to each other about the rapid fall of the plane about a minute before the accident. However, TV Globo neither released the audio nor the transcript related to this.
According to the report, the transcript includes nearly two hours of audio recording in which the co-pilot asks the pilot of the plane, ‘what is happening.’ To this, the pilot replies that more power is needed to stabilize the plane.
The Brazilian Air Force said in its statement that the pilots had not reported any emergency or adverse weather conditions. According to the report, according to those investigating, it would not be possible at the moment to determine the cause of the accident by analyzing the audio alone. Officials have not identified any specific sound such as fire, lightning or engine breakdown.
This accident happened when the ATR-72 aircraft operated by the airline Vopas Linhas Aereas suddenly crashed while going from Cascavel in Parana state to Guarulhos in Sao Paulo. There were 58 passengers and 4 crew members on board. Videos of this accident also surfaced. In which the plane can be seen coming down rapidly.
