Quick-acting firefighters ensure tragedy in Sao Paulo is not worse

(Reuters): Two people died and six others were injured when a small plane crashed into a bus on a busy Sao Paulo avenue in Brazil on Friday morning, the local fire department said.
The two bodies were found charred in the fuselage of the Beech F90 King Air aircraft that took off from Sao Paulo bound for the city of Porto Alegre in southern Brazil, according to local authorities.
The plane crashed on the Marques de Sao Vicente Avenue and then hit the bus, they said.
"Unfortunately we started the day with this tragic plane crash," Sao Paulo Governor Tarcisio de Freitas wrote on social media, adding that the victims were the pilot and co-pilot of the aircraft.
"It is worth highlighting the quick action of the fire department, which extinguished the flames in just a few minutes and prevented this tragedy from being even greater."
According to the fire department, a woman who was traveling on the bus and a biker struck by a piece of equipment were taken to hospital. Four others sustained minor injuries.
