A recent plane crash in Brazil tragically claimed the lives of at least 62 people. The incident occurred in the outskirts of São Paulo, where a small plane crashed into a residential area. The aircraft was carrying 58 passengers and four crew members at the time of the crash.

However, several old photos and videos are being circulated on social media with context to the recent Brazil plane crash incident.

Recently an X user shared a video after the plane crash in Brazil and mentioned “ Do you think it is a coincidence that there were 8 cancer doctors on the Brazilian airliner that crashed and killed 62 people?”

User has further shared a video showing a plane crashing midair.

However, Fact Crescendo found the video to be old and not related to the recent Brazil plane crash incident.

Fact Check

We started our investigation by applying simple reverse image search on Google, with the key frames of the video. We found that the video is several years old and was captured when a Dubai-bound Boeing 747-400 plane crashed just after takeoff from Bagram airbase of Afghanistan on 29 April 2013, killing six crew members.

You can also see a report by CNN on the 747 plane crash in Bagram air base. The report published on 2 May 2013 features the viral video shared as the recent plane crash in Brazil.

The tragic plane crash in Brazil, which claimed the lives of all 62 people on board, sent shockwaves worldwide. Among the victims were cancer doctors, a three-year-old child, and a dog. The plane that crashed was a twin engine turboprop plane not Boeing 747 seen in the viral video.

Conclusion

Hence from the above investigation, it is clear that the shared video does not show the recent plane crash in Brazil. The video was captured when a Dubai-bound Boeing 747-400 plane crashed just after takeoff from Bagram airbase of Afghanistan on 29 April 2013.
