Don’t miss this extraordinary report by NY Times columnist Joe Sharkey of his experience on the Embraer Legacy 600 corporate jet that collided with a Brazilian Boeing 737 airliner at 37,000 feet this past weekend. The airliner crashed in the Amazon jungle, killing all 155 people on board. Miraculously, the corporate jet — although heavily damaged — was able to make an emergency landing on a military base runway in the jungle, allowing Sharkey and his fellow travelers to survive.
Update: The two American pilots of the corporate jet have been detained in Brazil in connection with the investigation into the crash.
