In late December, a family of ten were killed after the plane they were travelling in crashed right into a tourist town in Brazil.

At the least 17 other people were injured on the bottom after the aircraft crashed into buildings within the centre of Gramado, southern Brazil, just minutes after takeoff, in response to Brazil’s civil defence agency.

The agency said in a post on X that a small jet slammed right into a chimney, a house and a furniture store in a largely residential area.

Debris from the resulting explosion then struck a guesthouse.

The aircraft’s owner and pilot, Luiz Claudio Galeazzi, died together with the nine other passengers on board, all of whom were relations, in response to AP citing local media reports.
