VINHEDO, Brazil — Brazilian rescue teams Saturday retrieved the remains of all 62 passengers and crew from the wreckage of a plane crash in Sao Paulo state as families started gathering in the metropolis to identify and bury their loved ones.

The ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop flown by Brazilian airline Voepass was headed for Sao Paulo’s international airport in Guarulhos with 58 passengers and four crew members when it went down in the city of Vinhedo.

Sao Paulo state government said in a statement that rescue operations finished at 6:30 p.m. local time, with the identification of the bodies of the pilot and co-pilot by forensics experts. There were 34 male and 28 female bodies in the wreckage, the government said. Earlier, Maycon Cristo, a spokesman for the local fire department, told journalists in Vinhedo that a winch was being used to remove parts of the plane’s wreckage from the ground.

Brazilian authorities began transferring the corpses to the morgue Friday, and called on victims’ family members to bring medical, X-ray and dental records to help identify the bodies. Blood tests were also done to help identification efforts.

Images recorded by witnesses showed the aircraft in a flat spin and plunging vertically before smashing to the ground inside a gated community, and leaving an obliterated fuselage consumed by fire. Residents said there were no injuries on the ground.

Metsul, one of Brazil’s most renowned meteorological companies, said Friday there were reports of severe icing in Sao Paulo state around the time of the crash. Local media cited experts pointing to icing as a potential cause for the accident.

An American Eagle ATR 72-200 crashed on Oct. 31, 1994, and the United States National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause was ice buildup while the plane flew in a holding pattern.

Brazil’s air force said Saturday that both black boxes of the plane had been sent to its analysis laboratory in the capital Brasilia. The results of its investigations are expected to be published within 30 days, it said.

Marcelo Moura, director of operations for Voepass, told reporters Friday night that, while there were forecasts for ice, they were within acceptable levels for the aircraft.

Osprey crash: An Osprey crash in Australia that killed three U.S. Marines last year was caused by multiple pilot errors during a midair near-collision with another Osprey, a military investigation has found. It also found that squadron leadership had permitted “a culture that disregarded safety of flight,” investigators said in a report released late Friday.

The crash during a military exercise last August was one of four fatal accidents in the past two years that have drawn renewed congressional scrutiny of the V-22 Osprey, which is able to fly as an airplane and a helicopter.

There were a total of 23 Marines on board the crashed aircraft. The two pilots and crew chief were killed, and a fourth crew member was seriously injured. The 19 troops in the back, who were being flown to a drop-off point, all survived.

Walz on weapons: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic candidate for vice president, “misspoke” in a 2018 video about “weapons of war that I carried in war,” a Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson said Saturday.

Republicans, including the vice presidential nominee, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, began questioning Walz’s military record after Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for president, named the governor as her running mate Tuesday.

Some of the criticism centers on comments by Walz in a 2018 video circulated on social media by the Harris campaign in which he speaks out against gun violence and says, “We can make sure that those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at.” The comment suggests that Walz portrayed himself as someone who spent time in a combat zone.

Walz served 24 years in various Army National Guard units but never in a combat zone.

South China Sea tensions: The Philippine military chief condemned Saturday what he said were the provocative actions of two Chinese air force aircraft that executed a dangerous maneuver and dropped flares in the path of a Philippine air force plane on routine patrol in the South China Sea.

All those aboard the Philippine air force NC-212i light transport plane were unharmed and returned safely to Clark Air Base north of Manila after Thursday morning’s incident over the Scarborough Shoal, Gen. Romeo Brawner said, without providing other details.

A top Philippine security official told The Associated Press that the Chinese jets flew at a “very close distance” to the Philippine plane and “put the lives of our pilots in real risk and danger.” Another security officer said at least eight flares came from the Chinese fighter jets.

Both spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the incident.

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army said in a statement Saturday that a Philippine air force aircraft had “illegally” entered the airspace above Huangyan Island — the Chinese name for Scarborough Shoal, which China claims — and disrupted its training activities.

NKorea flooding: North Korea will not seek outside help to recover from floods that devastated areas near the country’s border with China, leader Kim Jong Un said as he ordered officials to bring thousands of displaced residents to the capital to provide them better care.

Kim said it would take about two to three months to rebuild homes and stabilize the areas affected by floods. Until then, his government plans to accommodate some 15,400 people at facilities in Pyongyang, North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency said Saturday.

State media reports said heavy rains in late July left 4,100 houses, 7,410 acres of agricultural fields, and numerous other public buildings, structures, roads and railways flooded in the city of Sinuiju and the neighboring town of Uiju. The North has not provided information on deaths.

Some South Korean media reports claim that the North’s flood damage is likely worse than what state media have acknowledged, and that the number of deaths could exceed 1,000.

Utah arch collapse: A large geological feature in southern Utah known as the “Double Arch” or the “Hole in the Roof” and sometimes the “Toilet Bowl” has collapsed, National Park Service officials said Friday. No injuries were reported.

The popular arch in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, formed from sandstone 190 million years old, fell Thursday, and park rangers suspect changing water levels and erosion from waves in Lake Powell contributed to its demise.
