Tragic footage captures bride’s last moments before she died in helicopter crash on the way to her wedding

Rosemere do Nascimento Silva tragically never made it to her nuptials

The final moments of a bride-to-be were captured on camera just before the helicopter she was travelling to her wedding in crashed.

Rosemere do Nascimento Silva tragically never made it to her big day in December 2016, after horror struck in the skies above Brazil.

The 32-year-old, from the city of Sao Paolo, had planned to make a memorable entrance to her wedding with Udirley Damasceno.

She intended to swoop into the venue in Osasco, in Greater São Paulo, in a Robinson 44 helicopter alongside her brother, Silvano Nascimento da Silva.

But the chopper horrifically plummeted to the ground just a mile away from the wedding venue, as Rosemere's future husband waited for her at the altar.

Cameras in the aircraft, which were recording what should have been a magical moment, captured footage of the deadly incident, which took place nearly a decade ago.

The chilling clip shows Rosemere and her sibling smiling arm in arm, while the camera also pans to pilot Peterson Pinheiro and photographer Nayla Cristina Neves - who was six months pregnant at the time - who were also onboard.

The footage, which recently resurfaced on social media, appears to show the helicopter suddenly becoming surrounded by fog, before alarms begin to ring out and the passengers jubilation quickly turns to panic.

After a chaotic few minutes, the chopper then smashes into the ground, killing all those onboard.

Rosemere's groom had no idea about the mode of transport his bride was using on the day, and neither did the 300 guests attending their nuptials.

Wedding organiser Carlos Eduardo Batista said in wake of the crash: "All brides have a dream, and hers was to arrive by helicopter to their wedding without anyone knowing."

The wreckage of the aircraft was found in a forest area a short time after the alarm was raised when the bride and her brother didn't show up at the ceremony.

The groom, Udirley, is said to have been in a state of complete shock after being informed of Rosemere's death and the circumstances.

The journey, which was supposed to take just 15 minutes, is believed to have ended in tragedy due to the poor visibility, crash investigators said.

Sao Paolo police, as well as specialists in aeronautics, believe that the chopper likely hit a tree due to the rain, fog and clouds.

According to Brazilian news outlet G1 Globo, the pilot had good visibility when the helicopter initially took off at around 4pm on that fateful day.

But after about 21 minutes of being in the air, the weather took a turn for the worst and the aircraft appeared to become enveloped by fog.

The publiciation said: "From the video, it is possible to see that, in the next four minutes and 45 seconds, the pilot has difficulty finding the place where the wedding would be held, the Recanto Beija-Flor party buffet, rented by the family, and also trying to keep the aircraft stable."
