Brazil Airport Shutdown
Analyzed
The Brazilian justice is
analyzing a request by
the Federal Public
Ministry to close Sao
Paulo's Congonhas
airport, where a TAM
airliner recently
crashed with a pumping
station and a building.
The attorney´s office
demanded to shut down
the country's busiest
airport until security
conditions are confirmed
and the investigation
into the accident, which
could take ten months,
is completed.
Jorge Kersul, from the
Center for Investigation
and Prevention of
Accidents, said all
hypotheses must be
analyzed, as "it could
be a human failure,
runaway problems,
stress, or an incorrect
decision. It might have
been many things."
In the meantime, rescue
teams continue searching
and recovering bodies,
with al least 182 found
among the rubble so far,
O Globo daily reported,
and added that only 12
of the 53 bodies
examined could be
identified. |
