Pilot's last words revealed before tragic Brazil plane crash killed all 62 passengers on board

The transcript revealing the last words of the pilots of the passenger jet that tragically crashed and killed everyone on board has been revealed.

Investigators have discovered the plane's black box, meaning that the 'full transcript' from the voice recorder of the VoePass aircraft that crashed on Friday (9 August) is now accessible.

The plane was carrying 62 people, believed to be 58 passengers and four crew members, as it was travelling from Cascavel, in Parana to Guarulhos, in São Paulo.

It was reported that the aircraft crashed in the residential area of Vinhedo, home to over 80,000 people, with São Paulo's fire brigade rushing to the city shortly after the incident - luckily, nobody on the ground was injured.

It was later revealed that, according to flight tracking site Flightradar24, the ATR-72 turboprop plane left Cascavel at 11:56 local time, giving its last signal approximately an hour and a half later.

The site also found that the flight was flying at 17,000 feet before it crashed, and a 'severe icing' warning had been sent out at an altitude between 12,000 feet and 21,000 feet.

According to Sky News, icing issues can reduce an aircraft's thrust, therefore decreasing its lift and increasing its drag - two things you don't want happening in mid-air.

One passenger on board sent a selfie to her parents before take-off, sharing her concern at the 'old plane' that had her feeling 'afraid of this flight', before the aircraft's fatal crash.

Footage shared online shows the plane descending at speed, not in an expected nosedive, but rather spinning completely out of control before crashing.

The reason behind its crash is still unknown, though uncovering the aircraft's black box is said to have revealed what the pilots allegedly said before the tragic incident.

According to the transcript, both the pilot and copilot noticed a steep loss in altitude just one minute before the crash, as per local TV station Globo, who cited unnamed people from the investigation on Wednesday (14 August).

The two-hour recording reportedly revealed that copilot Humberto de Campos Alencar e Silva asked pilot Danilo Santos Romano: "What is going on?"

Silva also allegedly said that the plane needed 'more power' to stabilise the aircraft.

Following the crash, Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said in a video via CNN: "I would like everyone to stand up so that we can observe a minute of silence because a plane has just crashed in the city of Vinhedo, in São Paulo, with 58 passengers and four crew members and it appears they all died."

The director of operations for VoePass, Marcelo Moura, shared that even though there was an ice warning in place, the aircraft was in an acceptable window.

A full statement on the matter from VoePass said: "The aircraft took off from Cascavel-PR bound for Guarulhos Airport, with 58 passengers and four crew members on board. VOEPASS has taken all measures to support those involved.

"There is still no confirmation of how the accident occurred or the current situation of the people on board. The Company is providing support via telephone at 0800 9419712, available 24 hours a day, providing information to all its passengers, family members and employees."
