Witnesses reported hearing a loud bang followed by smoke and fire in the affected area. Businessman Paulo Benedito Kull was preparing to have breakfast with his family when he was startled by a loud explosion:

“It was very loud, the vacuum broke hotel windows. The smell of burnt fuel is very strong“, he stated.

According to Kull, initially, both hotel staff and guests believed that a vehicle had collided with the gas station located in front of the Hotel Exclusive.

Then, they began to suspect that the explosion might be related to a gas leak. Only minutes later did they receive confirmed information that it was a plane crash.

The businessman reported that guests were instructed to leave their rooms, as there was still a risk of more explosions in the area. “It was a scare. Hotel staff brought a wounded child inside, who was on the sidewalk. There are many vehicles out front, about six ambulances, police cars, and two fire trucks“, he said.

The governor of Rio Grande do Sul, Eduardo Leite, issued an official statement.

I am monitoring, along with the state security forces, the sad episode of an aircraft crash in Gramado. We have all the municipal and Canela forces mobilized to respond to the incident. I am also heading to the site to monitor the operation.

At this moment, the priority is to ensure the area is cordoned off and to assist the victims who suffered injuries. Unfortunately, initial reports indicate that the occupants of the aircraft did not survive.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

The R$ 61.7 billion deficit in government accounts in 2025 will trigger the fiscal framework’s mechanisms for the first time, and starting in 2027, personnel spending will only be able to grow 0.6% above inflation, which could freeze salary adjustments and public service entrance exams.

Prepare your heavy umbrella: Maranhão, Piauí, and Ceará go on alert at the end of April with up to 100 mm of rain per day, winds that could reach 100 km/h, risk of flooding and lightning strikes, as the northern coast of the Northeast becomes the main corridor for storms.

The first intense polar air mass of 2026 will place São Paulo at the center of the cold at the turn of May to June, with temperatures near 10 °C and an extreme contrast with the North and Northeast still above 36 °C during the same period.
