Double Disaster in Brazil: 38 Killed in Bus Crash, Plane Carrying 10 Crashes Into Shops | VIDEO

A devastating series of tragedies struck Brazil on Saturday and Sunday, claiming numerous lives.

On Saturday, a passenger bus in the state of Minas Gerais collided with a truck, killing 38 people and leaving 13 others injured.

The bus, which was traveling from São Paulo, lost control after blowing a tire and burst into flames upon impact.

Brazilian President Lula da Silva expressed condolences, vowing full support to the victims' families.

Just a day later, a small plane carrying 10 passengers crashed into shops in the popular tourist city of Gramado, in southern Brazil.

All 10 people aboard the plane were confirmed dead.

The crash triggered a massive fire, sending at least 15 people to the hospital with smoke inhalation.

The plane struck a chimney, a second-floor building, and then a furniture store before debris scattered across the area, also hitting a nearby inn.

Authorities have vowed to investigate both incidents thoroughly as the country mourns this twin tragedy.
