Feel so sad for
all the passengers including the extraordinary photographer, who kept his cool
even in his last moments of life and took this photo. Hats off to
him!!!
Yesterday the world saw the disappearance of an A330 Air
Frane during a trans Atlantic flight between Rio to Paris. Very ironic that a
day before
someone
got
this
mail of the photos
taken
by
a passenger on a
flight mins after a mid air collision, and mins before the crash of the said
aircraft
Two shots taken inside the plane before it crashed.
Unbelievable! Photos taken inside the GOL B 737 aircraft that was involved in a
mid air collision and crashed.....
A B737 had
a mid air collision with the Embraer Legacy while cruising at 35,000 feet over
South America. The Embraer Legacy, though seriously damaged with the
winglet ripped off, managed to make a landing at a nearby airstrip in the
midst of the Amazon jungle. The crew and passengers of the Embraer Legacy had no
idea what they had hit. The B737
however crashed, killing all crew and
passengers on board.
The two photos attached were apparently taken by one
of the passengers in the B737, just after the collision and before the aircraft
crashed. The photos were retrieved from the camera's memory stick. You will
never get to see photos like this. In the first photo, there is a gaping hole in
the fuselage through which you can see the tailplane and vertical fin of the
aircraft. In the second photo, one of the passengers is being sucked out of the
gaping hole.
These photos were found in a digital Casio Z750, amidst
the remains in Serra do Cachimbo. Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory
Stick was recovered. Investigating the serial number of the camera, the owner
was identified as Paulo G. Muller, an actor of a theatre for children known in
the outskirts of Porto Alegre. It can be imagined that he was standing
during the impact with the Embraer Legacy and during the turbulence, he managed
to take these photos, just seconds after the tail loss the aircraft plunged. So
the camera was found near the cockpit. The structural stress probably ripped the
engines away, diminishing the falling speed, protecting the electronic equipment
but not unfortunately the victims. Paulo Muller leaves behind two daughters,
Bruna and Beatriz.
