What happened
While performing a takeoff roll on runway 36 at Recife-Guararapes Airport, the aircraft experienced a failure of its right engine. Despite this mechanical issue, the crew proceeded with the takeoff sequence, successfully rotating the plane after traveling a distance of 900 metres.
Approximately thirty seconds following rotation, while the aircraft was at an altitude of roughly 100 feet, the right engine experienced an explosion and subsequent fire. This event caused the crew to lose control of the aircraft type/model (not specified in source). The plane subsequently crashed into the Ipsep district, located near the airport.
The impact resulted in the destruction of the aircraft and several nearby buildings. The accident resulted in 15 fatalities among the occupants of the plane, along with 2 fatalities among individuals on the ground, totaling 17 deaths.
