A tragic incident occurred in Capão da Canoa, a coastal city in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, when a light aircraft crashed into a restaurant, resulting in the deaths of four individuals, including the pilot and three passengers. The Piper Malibu aircraft was approaching Capão da Canoa Airport when it struck a pole near the runway before crashing into the restaurant around 10:30 A.M. local time. Fortunately, the restaurant was closed at the time, preventing any injuries on the ground. Eyewitness videos captured the dramatic moments of the crash, showing pedestrians narrowly escaping injury as the plane collided with the building, which was engulfed in flames shortly thereafter. Local authorities, including Rio Grande do Sul state governor Eduardo Leite, confirmed that all security forces were mobilized, and Civil Defence teams assisted residents in the area. Damage was reported to a nearby closed shop as well.
