Zestien doden bij vliegtuigcrash in Brazilië

In het noordoosten van Brazilië is woensdag een klein passagiersvliegtuig neergestort. De zestien inzittenden kwamen daarbij om, zo melden de autoriteiten.
Het vliegtuigje was opgestegen in Recife en was op weg naar Natal, aan de Atlantische kust, toen het tien minuten na vertrek plots om een onbekende reden van de radar verdween.

Reddingswerkers konden het uitgebrande wrak lokaliseren, maar voor de inzittenden kwam alle hulp te laat.

SAO PAULO -- A regional airliner crashed in a northeastern city in Brazil Monday, killing all 16 people on board, the nation's Air Force said.

The crew of the twin-engine aircraft belonging to Noar Airlines reported problems shortly after taking off about 7 a.m. (6 a.m. EDT; 1000 GMT) from the city of Recife en route to the city of Natal.

The Air Force did not indicate what the problems were or what caused the crash, but said it is investigating.

The pilot tried to make an emergency landing in a vacant lot near a beach on the outskirts of the city's center, near several apartment buildings. But witnesses said the aircraft went down hard and burst into flames.

Noar Airlines' website says it began operations in June 2010 and that it makes 278 flights a week. It owns a fleet of four small planes.
