The news has only just broken, it's horrific and although I'm not religious I pray for the people involved and their families. I have friends in Minas Gerais and Sao Paolo, I just hope they are all okay.

But the airport has been the scene of several accidents in recent months, involving planes skidding on the runway. In May the runway was closed for rebuilding after a series of smaller accidents. On Monday a smaller plane skidded on the runway but there were no injuries.

Yesterday's accident happened during heavy rain. Critics have warned for years that such an accident was possible at the airport and that the runway was too short for larger planes and authorities recently introduced a policy closing the runway during heavy rain.


And to cap it off there's a Petrol Station opposite the end of the runway !

Madness !
