Disaster on Flight JJ3054
July 18, 2007
Flight JJ3054 was on its way from Porto Alegre in southern Brazil to Sao Paulo, South America's largest city. The mishap occurred during the evening rush hour.
A federal court in February had briefly banned large jets because of safety concerns at the airport. But an appeals court overruled the ban, saying it was too harsh because it would have severe economic ramifications and that there were not enough safety concerns to prevent the planes from landing and taking off at the airport, according to Associated Press.
