Beechcraft King Air crash in Sao Paulo City

Just like @thehobbit said, what the heck is going on with aviation right now?!?! Because a general aircraft, registrated PS-FEM and operated by Maxima Inteligência Operações e Empreendimentos crashed into a bus at a busy and major avenue (Marquês de São Vicente avenue, to be exact) in Sao Paulo! Here’s what i know about it:

The privately owned plane took off from Campo de Marte Airport (RTE/SBMT :brazil:) at roughly 7:10 AM (UTC -3) heading to Porto Alegre (POA/SBPA :brazil:) with two occupants on board. The pilot posted a video of the exact same plane that would crash on a pushback tug and some photos of the pilots at the plane in Instagram, as you can see in this screenshot:


All of a sudden, the plane started losing altitude right after takeoff, presumably due to some catastrophic failure, because the pilot then attempts to land on a busy public road just two and a half miles from the airport, but it crashes after hitting a tree, then, it hit a signpost, and then, it crashed on a bus. No one on the plane survived, and six people were injured (a nearby motorcyclist and 5 people inside the bus) and are currently recieving medical care.

I’m going to call our news reporter from Ice711 Airways & News known as @Cynlikesplens in the replies.
