Brazil plane crash, that killed all 62 people on the aircraft, has once again raised apprehensions over the safety of the flight journey. However, amidst all the despair, there is an incident which shows how hiccups can sometimes save one's life.

Two travelers named Adriano Assis and Jose Felipe have revealed there mixed up pertaining to the airlines and they couldn't board the fateful flight, as per a report on New York Post.

Ultimately, the goof-ups ensured that they didn't meet the tragic ending.


Brazilian authorities on Saturday finished recovering the bodies of the 62 people who died when their plane tumbled from the sky, as experts began examining the doomed aircraft's black boxes to determine the cause of the disaster.

Videos showed the ATR 72-500 plane in a sickening downward spin Friday before it crashed into a residential area in the town of Vinhedo, some 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Brazil's financial capital Sao Paulo.

The plane operated by airline Voepass fell almost vertically, landed on its belly and exploded in flames, striking with such force that it was nearly "flattened," said Sao Paulo fire lieutenant Olivia Perroni Cazo.

"A total of 62 bodies (34 male and 28 female) were recovered and taken to the morgue in Sao Paulo for identification and delivery to their families," the regional government said Saturday evening.

Two have already been identified through fingerprints, with Vinhedo Mayor Dario Pacheco saying they were the pilot and co-pilot.

The twin-engine turboprop, built by aviation firm ATR, was flying from Cascavel in southern Parana state to Sao Paulo's Guarulhos international airport.

Experts from Brazil's Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center (CENIPA) have begun analyzing two black boxes recovered from the wreckage, containing cabin conversations and in-flight data, said the center's chief, Marcelo Moreno.
