We are learning that a small passenger
plane has crashed in a residential area. This is outside of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Brazil's president just announced on that. All 62 people on board are dead. And we do have new video. I want to warn you though,
this video that we just have in is very disturbing. When we talk about that type of spin, how we get into
those spins is unknown at this point. How the aircraft got into that predicament
or not, that we refer that to as a power on stall,
meaning it didn't have the engines lost and then it stalled
and fell to the ground. This is a power on stall in which they're
trying to attempt to keep moving forward and get airflow over the wings enough
where they can recover from the spin that they're in. And that's sometimes
referred to as a split flat spin. As well. So as low as it was,
and I think they were just on approach to land, as low as it was,
it takes up quite a bit of altitude to recover from that
because you have to get the nose down and get the aircraft
to get some airflow over the wing so that you can recover
and pull out of those, those flat spins. And there just wasn't
enough airspace, for, for that to be accomplished
and tragically ended the way that it did. The most disturbing video
that we are seeing, and quite frankly, I think a lot of us when we first saw it,
we were hoping it wasn't real. is of the plane falling out of the sky. I do want to have you look at it
and also listen to it, so that you can tell us what you see in it
and also what you're hearing. This is again disturbing video. Let's watch. It. How are you analyzing that, Mary? Well,
there are so many clues in that video. And just like you, when I first saw it, I. It was I was questioning
whether this was accurate or not. But, you know, sadly, I've worked
other crashes where this has happened. This is clearly a stall. What's called an aerodynamic stall. There's not enough airspeed and air flowing over the wings
to keep the plane in the sky. At this point, where we see it
in the video where the plane is falling, the pilots would have had no ability
to control that plane, so they could not have directed it
away from houses or populated areas. When you're at that point in the fall, you have
lost all control and controllability and surfaces of the aircraft. And we also heard you're very,
you know, good note to listen because we also know
that the engines are still running. So the plane did not stall, did not lose
its airspeed because it lost its engines. We have one more clue. And this is hugely important. Some of the radar tracings
indicate that the aircraft had been flying throughout most of its flight, at over
200 knots during two knots. And at this particular point,
and remember, just a minute after this happened, I'll took a minute for all this
to happen, to fall and to crash. It was going only 40 knots. I mean, not even a very small, tiny two seater plane can stay flying. in most cases at 40 knots. So for some reason,
we know it had dramatically lost its, its speed and that that just won't
keep this plane in the air. So we already know that as a clue as well. The question is why?
