Video showed blazing fragments of the bus and airplane scattered across the Sao Paulo roadway as they detonated upon collision. The local fire service was battling to contain the flames.
The aircraft lost communication with the Campo de Marte airport’s control tower and crashed while traveling to Porto Alegre in the state of Rio Grande de Sul.
A video posted by StoryfulNews showed massive flames and a lot of smoke billowing from Marques de Sao Vicente Avenue, a busy street in San Paulo’s Barra Funda neighborhood.
The highway was lined with cars, and the jet just missed them.
“It exploded immediately. Everyone was paralyzed. The plane was ripping up palm trees and signs,” witness Genival Dantas Arraes told TV Globo.
