Families of victims of an airliner crash in Brazil are gathering in Sao Paulo as forensics experts work to identify the remains of the 62 people killed in the accident. The bodies of the pilot and co-pilot were the first to be identified. The ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop operated by Brazilian airline Voepass was headed for Guarulhos international airport in Sao Paulo with 58 passengers and four crew members when it crashed in Vinhedo, north of the metropolis.
At least eight physicians and four professors were among the victims. The only child known to be on the passenger list was three-year-old Liz Ibba dos Santos. The remains of a dog traveling with a Venezuelan family were also found in the wreckage.
