The airplane was totally destroyed as well as several buildings. All 10 occupants were killed and 17 people on the ground were injured, two seriously. The pilot and owner of the airplane, Luiz Claudio Salgueiro Galeazzi, was travelling with his wife, three daughters, sister, brother in law, mother in law and two nephews.
