Sao Paulo/IBNS/UNI: At least 14 people were killed when a small plane crashed on Saturday in Barcelos, an inland city of Amazonas state in northern Brazil, local authorities said.
"They were all tourists who were going on a fishing trip," Amazonas governor Wilson Lima told a press conference, adding that initial information showed all the tourists were Brazilian.
It was reported that the pilot had trouble finding the runway for landing in Barcelos, a sport fishing destination.
