At least 195 feared dead in Brazil air crash

Rescue crews today pulled dozens of bodies from a plane that crashed and burst into flames at a Sao Paulo airport, as the number of people feared dead rose to 195 in what would be Brazil’s worst air disaster.

The TAM airlines Airbus-320 was en route to Brazil’s busiest airport from Porto Alegre yesterday when it skidded on the rain-slicked runway, crossed across a busy road and slammed into a fuel station and TAM building.
