Four people survived the crash 
Brazilian authorities say they have recovered the bodies of 24 people
who were aboard a small plane that crashed in the Amazon jungle. Divers
recovered the bodies from the Manacapuru river, where a twin-engine
turbo-prop plane crashed Saturday afternoon. Four people survived the
crash. Brazilian officials said the plane was on a flight from Coari to
the city of Manaus in Amazonas state when the pilots hit bad weather and
requested permission to return to Coari. Air traffic controllers said
they lost radar contact with the plane lost shortly after that radio
transmission. The four survivors are reported to be in good condition.
