According to the Tam Airlines transcript, the pilots panicked, crying "Oh my God!, Oh my God!" as they tried to slow down the jetliner which landed with inoperable spoilers and a thrust reverser.
"Come on! Come on! Turn, turn, turn, turn!" cried the co-pilot moments before a final utterance, "Oh no!," was heard. The tape goes blank as the jetliner slammed into a cargo building at 137 mph and exploded.
In the wake of the airliner crash in Sao Paulo last month, Brazil's top prosecutor Matheus Baraldi Magnan, seized records from key flight control centers in response to concern over Brazil's civil aviation system.
Explaining the surprise data impoundment, Magnani said the military hindered his seizure, and "holds on to the information. It is not possible today to know the extent and frequency of problems. Only with that information will it be possible to evaluate and improve the system...The goal is to assure seizure of the incident records, and any information about problems in the air traffic control system, which will allow us to assess the risks passengers and crew face aboard aircraft."
The government confirmed that France and aircraft builder Airbus filed a complaint over leaks of the Tam airlines flight's black box.
The French bureau's response on August third was that "All sorts of information, correct or incorrect, is circulating, along with speculation and attempts at explanations."
"It is a serious error to try to draw conclusions on the basis of incomplete and unanalyzed information."
A transcript of the cockpit voice recorder was released last week by a congressional committee investigating the accident on.
July 17 when the TAM Airbus 320 carrying 187 people overran the runway while landing at Sao Paulo's Congonhas airport, crossed a road and slammed into an airport building.
