Default Re: Illustration of Brazilian mid-air

Translation of the slides (I did this on my own and I don't speak Portuguese, so forgive me)

1 of 7:
The Boeing and the Legacy fly on a frontal collision course, with a (something) and altitude too close together.

2 of 7:
The winglet from the left wing of the Legacy hits the left wing of the boeing between the (end?) and the turbine

3 of 7:
And the left winglet of the Boeing hits the stablizer of the Legacy

4 of 7:
This explains why the right winglets and stablizers were undamaged

5 of 7:
(The winglet did something) and the wing of the Boeing broke

6 of 7:
With only a portion of the wing and no stablizer, the Gol pilot loses control of the airplane

7 of 7:
Out of control, the airplane's nose breaks. Intense force tears apart the cabin

Not 100% of everything but'll give you an idea.
