TAM Airlines Flight #3054 Airbus A320 July 17th, 2007 - TAM Airlines Flight #3054 is on its final approach to Sao Paulo's notorious Congonhas Airport. Runway 35-L at Congonhas is one of the most treacherous in the world. It's built on a hilltop, surrounded by tall buildings. The crew of Flight #3054 gets a report that the runway is wet and slippery. Captain Henrique Stephanini brings his Airbus A-320 down at the foot of the 1,945 meter long runway, activates the one working thrust reverser and applies the brakes, but his plane doesn't slow down. It hurtles down the runway at top speed, crosses a highway and slams into a building and adjacent gas station. No one on the plane survives. 12 people on the ground are also killed. This is the worst aviation disaster in South American history. Investigators are under enormous pressure to figure out what went wrong on one of Brazil's busiest runways, before it claims any more lives.
