Brazil: airport building destroyed

August 06, 2007

Brazilian authorities have demolished the remains of a cargo building at Sao Paulo airport, which was badly damaged last month. All 187 passengers and crew aboard the Airbus A320 were killed along with 12 others on the ground when the jet lost control on landing at Congonhas airport. The Tam express flight skidded off the runway during heavy rain and ploughed into the Brazilian airline's terminal building before exploding.
