Brazil Plane Crash | Plane Crashes Into Shops, Homes In Brazil’s Gramado, Over 10 Feared Dead | N18G

Drone footage released on Sunday (December 22) showed the aftermath of a plane crash in the Brazilian tourist city of Gramado, which killed everyone on board and destroyed shops in the city center, state government officials said.

The aircraft's owner and pilot, Luiz Claudio Galeazzi, died along with the other nine passengers, all of whom were members of his family, according to Rio Grande do Sul Governor Eduardo Leite.

In addition, 17 people on the ground were injured, Leite said at a press conference, with 12 still receiving hospital care, including two in critical condition.

The plane reportedly first struck the chimney of a building, then the second floor of a house before crashing into a furniture store, authorities said. Debris also reached a nearby inn.

Nestled in a mountainous region, Gramado is the most popular tourist destination in Rio Grande do Sul, which was severely impacted earlier this year by unprecedented floods that claimed dozens of lives, destroyed infrastructure and significantly disrupted the state's economy.
