I still remember watching that on television. I'm Brazilian and I live in a city close do São Paulo. It was shocking, Brazil has a good commercial aviation safety record. And suddenly we had that, just after GOL 1907, another tragedy where a Boeing 737 and a Legacy 600 collided mid air at cruise altitude(!). The Legacy managed to land, but everyone on the 737 died. I still refuse to use Conganhas airport to this day. I only fly at Guarulhos, a much bigger airport. IMO Congonhas should be left only for smaller airliners (like the Embraer 195 or Airbus A220) or closed for good. It is in the middle of a HEAVLY populated area with tall buildings for gods sake!
I lived in São José dos Campos for a year, after many visits via GRU. We went on honeymoon from CGH in 2003 and the whole airport just felt so unsafe to me. All those buildings around, and with it being elevated just seemed to make it worse. I refused to ever fly from there ever again. It just felt like an accident waiting to happen. I was back in the UK when sadly, this accident happened and I was overwhelmed with emotion. Such a tragedy.
Considering Conganhas used to have A300s and 767-200s operated by VASP and Varig respectively, operating A320-200s or 737-800s is middle tier in terms of aircraft that have served the airport.

After the initial collision, the fuselage would've slammed into the ground sideways with the remaining energy (likely around 80mph). I don't see many people surviving something like that
At those speeds, specifically that deceleration, you will have massive internal hemorrhaging because your viscera will essentially keep moving and rip away from connective tissue. This began horrifically and could only end horrifically.
Wha…what the hell? I’ve been on enough flights (and flight simulators) to know that a craft that has overshot their landing speed can still gain lift and essentially try again. Especially on a smaller plane. But how they even got into that position to blunder so catastrophically just…I cannot fathom it. The most obvious controls in the cockpit besides the yoke. Im so gobsmacked that I don’t even know how to feel.
The reason is that engines were in conflict. the left engine was trying to stop the plane while the right engine was at full power that made the speed too fast to stop and too slow to go around, in addition, the pilots only realized that there was something wrong with less than 20 seconds left for the accident.
huh, indeed, very recently! That is great news, EMAS is a great technology. For everyone reading - EMAS is, in simple terms, a very brittle kind of concrete that can stop an aircraft on a runway overrun extremely quickly.
Bad runway, technical issue & pilot error...3 chain events that led to this tragedy. If only the pilot would've realised he forgot to change the thrust on the second engine the accident wouldn't have been so horrible, the plane could've still crashed but not in that gas station...at least those lives would've been saved
what does interactive training for a lawyer look like though...? (edit: just out of interest) I understand a workshop on ethics, but otherwise, no... I mean, I would guess you do not read the law aloud and debate it (as was done in Rome or The Russian Empire under the Tsars {unlike modern Russia, they actually followed laws in the day})
you might be wondering: why is congonhas surrounded by buildings? well, the airport's construction was actually funded by an airline, named VASP, and due to this, the airport was nicknamed "campo da VASP" [VASP's camp] and VASP was unable to find a good spot, so they purchased a terrain way off the city, near a farm. BUT, it was all they had, and the airport opened on april 12, 1936. there was no need for the airport to expand, but there was need for the CITY to expand. but when the airport needed to expand, the city had already grown around it, so they had to build a new airport, that's how guarulhos airport was born.
Oh I did have two cars in which you had to press both the gas and the brake at the same time to keep them from quitting whenever you had to stop. The first one was my first car and its problem was that the idle setting on the carburetor was too low so that the engine wouldn't get enough gas under normal idling. The reason it was significant that this was my first car is that I had not yet learned how to fix this myself and so I kept having to not only come up with enough money to pay for it to be fixed, but I also had to get it to the shop even when I did have the money, so I spent a lot of time stopping and having to have my feet on both the gas and the brake. Luckily, this is back when gas was less than $1 per gallon and before I knew the devastating effects of burning gasoline on the likelihood that humans (and, sadly, many other species who aren't responsible for this) will be able to continue to survive on this planet. In the second case, this method didn't work as well but it worked well enough to be worth trying. The problem was the alternator, but there was something else in the electrical system that kept ruining the rebuilt ones I would put in after only a week or less so that I would be stuck out somewhere and my car would die. Sometimes it helped to keep the engine turning at a high rate but only if I had to make the briefest of stops at a stop sign with only one car I had to wait to pass first. I would usually just try to find a way back to my house that didn't have much traffic and so then I would only slow down for the stop signs. And then sometimes I would press both the gas and the brake when I had to start one of the cars with a manual transmission on a steep hill, but I would try to avoid those until I had gotten used to that particular car and the characteristics of its clutch.
First, great job on this video! The animation and narration is great! I especially like that you take the time say the feet etc for us Americans. Secondly, I live just north of Laguardia airport in NYC. I've seen a few runway excursions because of a short runway. Third, the loss of life in this story is tragic as it always is. These videos make you wonder what the passengers where going through and thinking at the time. Thanks again for all your work creating these videos. Well done number one.
Amazing work depicting this accident. This is such an underestimated channel imo. I'm from Brazil and I was 7 years old when it happened. It was a difficult time for aviation in Brazil. The demand was at its highest and we didn't had the infrastructure and personnel to supply it. The companies and our air force (ATC in Brazil is almost fully militarized) were scrambling around to make it work. Flights were always late, huge lines on airports etc. At some point we even had ATC strikes (not that big of a strike since military cannot strike). This was known as "Airspace Blackout" (Apagão Aéreo) for those who wants to research more. It started right after the GOL 1907 accident in 2006. If I may add something to this video, I believe psychological factors played a major role here (as most of the time). I don't know if the final report treats this matter, but the crew seemed too worried about the conditions and if they were ever able to land the plane safely. This contributed to the decision made by the pilot in command to use an outdated procedure that would make him gain like 50 meters. He had executed this procedure properly earlier in that day, but failed to do so in the accident.
Thank you very much! Regarding the second paragraph of your comment: This is speculation. It is mentioned as a possibility in the final report, but not as a proven theory :)
Actually this was considered a french air disaster, since it was a french airplane towards Paris and it fell miles away from the brazillian coast. I don't recall if it had brazillians in that flight. Since TAM 3054, the latest aerial disaster that caused us to mourn was the Lamia flight 2933 transporting the Chapecoense soccer team that crashed on Colombia.

You can literally leave Congonhas' airport and walk a few meters before hitting a particularly (civilian) tall building, I always wondered how they even got the license to be built there, but I guess rental apartments that close to an airport must be worth a pretty penny.
2007 and I still remember seeing that on tv, 15 years later... when the news came, it was already night, I remember I was with my family in the living room, we gave our hands to each other, and made a prayer.
It never ceases to astonish me how greed and bottom-line profit can take precedent over human lives. And the worse part is that many cheer these business strategies until disaster strikes, and even then. I wish companies were headed by industry experts and fewer financial folks and lawyers. We might have to have a few more disasters and another economic collapse to bring back common sense and grown-up adults at the key decision levels again.
During the time of this accident and Gol 1907 accident, Brazil was facing "aerial chaos" hundreds of flight delays, operators complainning about their working conditions and obsolete equipment, companies like Varig going out of buisness. As a result of such double disaster, our government made heavy investments on infrastructure and equipment update, and at the time of my comment this was the latest aircraft disaster involving a regional flight in Brazil. Historically, Brazil has one of the safest airspaces in the world.
So basically there was nothing wrong was this plane. The thing is that the pilots either did not receive enough training, or they simply were not paying attention, thus causing the deaths of 199 people🤧
Potentially dumb question: could an EMAS have helped here? Even though this was a large and fast-moving aircraft, surely any braking effect could have helped (assuming it hadn't left the runway by that point, which it did here)
Why wouldn't you take it back in the air after you realize it's not slowing down? Yeah I understand in the moment you my not think of that but it's common sense that would be the next step.

How can the pilot "forget" to turn the throttles to idle on landing? Isn't that the 1st thing to do? Wtf... It's like saying the pilot forgot to keep his eyes open and see outta the windscreen
The reason according to one theory is that the Pilot tried to do an old procedure that would reduce the braking time to gain another 55 meters, for that he would have to put the right engine and the left engine to idle, then put the left engine in reverse, but he put the left engine in reverse and forgot the right engine at full power.

Cheap land.......
Why wouldn't you take it back in the air after you realize it's not slowing down?
Yeah I understand in the moment you my not think of that but it's common sense that would be the next step.
They would not have had the time to stow the reverses, increase thrust to TOGA and get back up to takeoff speed before overrunning the runway
How fast were they going
100mph

He was probably so focused on not putting it on reverse that he didn't even touch it to put it on idle.
