A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

Globonews reports Crash in Error


In a nightmarish replay of Brazil's worst plane crash ever, Globonews played live footage of dark smoke billowing over skyscrapers near Congonhas airport and compounded the problem by announcing the crash of a Pantanal Linhas Aereas plane.



There was no crash. Apparently the source of the smoke was a mattress fire in a shop.
Oops.

Apologies to all those traumatized folks in Sao Paulo.
