At the end of the Angelus prayer, Pope Francis calls for prayer for "the victims of the tragic air accident" which occurred near Sao Paulo, in the south-east of Brazil, which left 62 dead according to the authorities of the country.

The plane operated by airline Voepass fell almost vertically, landed on its belly and exploded in flames. 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.
