Brazil plane crash kills 19
Afp, Rio de Janeiro
A Brazilian twin-engine passenger plane has crashed north of this city, killing all 19 people on board, the Team airline announced yesterday. The Brazilian Civil Aviation Administration said the plane took off from Macae at about 2020 GMT Friday and headed toward Rio de Janeiro but disappeared from radar screens 20 minutes later. Its wreckage was discovered by a rescue team about 200 km (124 miles) north of Rio de Janeiro early Saturday, airline spokesman Davi Farias said. There were no survivors. The Czech-made Lat 410 aircraft had 17 passengers and two crew on board.
