TAM Airlines Flight 3054
Voo 3054 da TAM Linhas Aéreas
On the evening of July 17, 2007, the Airbus A320 serving the flight overran runway 35L at Congonha’s airport in São Paulo during moderate rain and crashed into a nearby TAM Express warehouse adjacent to a Shell gas station.
The plane exploded on impact, killing all 187 passengers and crew on board and 12 people on the ground.
The crash surpassed Gol Transportes Aéreos Flight 1907 as the deadliest aviation accident in Brazilian territory and in South American history, and remains the deadliest aviation accident involving the A320 proper worldwide.
The accident was investigated by Brazilian Air Force’s Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center. It was concluded that the accident was caused by errors committed by the pilots during the landing at Congonha’s airport in São Paulo.
There were no runway end safety areas, as at the end of runways 35L and 35R was Washington Luís Avenue, a busy avenue, as well as several buildings and houses.

Incorreta. A alternativa é vaga, subjetiva
e não se refere diretamente ao número de mortes.
