Gremio escapes accident with plane in Sao Paulo

The Gremio football team was supposed to be aboard the plane that crashed Tuesday evening as it landed in the Congonhas Airport in Sao Paulo. According to team directors, the team changed plans at the last minute, opting to take a different plane en route to Goiania, where it faces Goias on Thursday. TAM flight 3054, an Airbus A320, crashed on a cargo hangar building besides the runway after it failed to stop and slid off the tarmac. It's believed close to 200 people may have died on the accident, including passengers and people who were in the building hit by the plane.
