Brazil Rains: Death toll from heavy rains in Brazil jumps to 29, Lula visit the region | Oneindia
As Thursday night descended upon Brazil's southern Rio Grande do Sul (RHee-oo Grahnd-ee doo Soohl) state, the toll of lives lost due to heavy rains surged to 29, while an alarming count of 60 individuals remained missing, as reported by the state's civil defence agency.
This stark escalation in casualties comes in stark contrast to the agency's earlier report released at noon, which had documented 13 fatalities and 21 individuals reported missing.
The rapid escalation in both casualties and missing persons highlights the severity of the situation, underlining the urgent need for coordinated rescue and relief efforts in the affected region.
Tragedy struck the popular tourist city of Gramado in southern Brazil as a small plane crashed into a residential-commercial area, claiming the lives of 10 family members. The Piper PA-42-1000 crashed shortly after takeoff, causing widespread damage and leaving over a dozen people injured. Watch the chilling aerial footage of the crash site and the aftermath of this devastating accident.

A devastating series of tragedies struck Brazil on Saturday and Sunday, claiming numerous lives. On Saturday, a passenger bus in the state of Minas Gerais collided with a truck, killing 38 people and leaving 13 others injured. The bus, which was traveling from São Paulo, lost control after blowing a tire and burst into flames upon impact. Brazilian President Lula da Silva expressed condolences, vowing full support to the victims' families.
Just a day later, a small plane carrying 10 passengers crashed into shops in the popular tourist city of Gramado, in southern Brazil. All 10 people aboard the plane were confirmed dead. The crash triggered a massive fire, sending at least 15 people to the hospital with smoke inhalation. The plane struck a chimney, a second-floor building, and then a furniture store before debris scattered across the area, also hitting a nearby inn. Authorities have vowed to investigate both incidents thoroughly as the country mourns this twin tragedy.
