Brazilian TV station GloboNews reported that there were no survivors of the crash. And Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva told the crowd at an event in southern Brazil that it looked as though everyone aboard died, according to the Associated Press.

GloboNews shared unverified videos on X showing a plane spinning around as it falls from the sky. Videos from the outlet also show reporters at the scene of a fiery wreck surrounded by local police officers, as well as aerial footage of what appears to be the plane’s wreckage in a residential backyard.

The plane crashed near a residence with people inside, but no one on the ground was hurt, according to GloboNews.

The governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, said on X that firefighters, police, civil defense, and medical teams are working at the site to retrieve victims.

“My condolences to all the victims and those affected by this tragedy,” de Freitas wrote on X.
