After the shock caused by the crash of a plane with 61 people on board in a residential area of ??Vinhedo, a city in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, the authorities are now trying to find out the reasons for the tragedy.

None of the 57 passengers and 4 crew members on board survived the accident. Its crash and subsequent fire caused damage to a house in an apartment complex but no casualties among those in the ATR 72-500's crash zone at the time. According to officials, the most likely hypothesis so far is that of ice. It turns out that there was a meteorological warning for ice at an altitude of up to 6,400 meters above sea level and before the accident, the ATR was flying at an altitude of 5,200 meters, according to foreign media.

Ice is dangerous because, in addition to weighing down the aircraft, it also disables some of its systems. A civil aviation expert, Captain Ross Aimer, thinks that the possibility of an engine problem, a malfunction of the flight equipment or the loss of an important part of the plane in the air, such as the fall of a wing, should also be looked at.

A video recording posted on social networks showed the footage of an aircraft, apparently of the production 'ATR', as it loses control and falls near some houses. Huge amounts of smoke rose after it crashed.

The first technical evaluations speak of a "flat roll" in the vehicle, a dynamic in which the aircraft rotates around itself, while the nose and tail rotate around a horizontal axis, without responding to the pilots' intervention. According to experts, such a situation leaves very little time available to react.
