B737 mid air collision with the Embraer Legacy while cruising at 35,000 feet over South America


The world saw the disappearance of an A330 Air Frane during a Trans Atlantic flight between Rio to Paris. I got a mail of the photos taken a a passenger on a flight mins after a mid air collision, and mins before the crash of the sa i d aircraft (GOL B 737 )

Two shots taken inside the plane before it crashed. Unbelievable!
Photos taken inside the GOL B 737 aircraft that was involved in a mid air collision
and crashed.....

A B737 had a mid air collision with the Embraer Legacy while cruising at 35,000 feet over South America. The Embraer Legacy, though seriously damaged with the winglet ripped off, man
aged to make a landing at a nearby airstrip in the midst of the Amazon jungle. The crew and passengers of the Embraer Legacy had no idea what they had hit. The B737 however crashed, killing all crew and passengers on board.

The two photos attached were apparently taken by one of the passengers in the B737, just after the collision and before the aircraft crashed.

The photos were retrieved from the camera's memory stick. In the first photo, there is a gaping hole in the fuselage through which you can see the tailplane and vertical fin of the aircraft. In the second photo, one of the passengers is being sucked out of the gaping hole.
