The massive accident ended up taking the lives of one hundred and ninety-nine people, along with several others severely injured.

As revealed on A Tragedy Foretold: Flight 3054, this accident didn't settle easily in the public eye, and the shockwaves of its aftermath were felt long after the dust had settled.

Here's everything that we know about the upcoming documentary.

What is A Tragedy Foretold: Flight 3054 all about?

As mentioned earlier, A Tragedy Foretold: Flight 3054 is a documentary that chronicles the tragic crash of TAM Linhas Aéreas commercial flight 3054 that took place back in 2007. The official synopsis of the documentary reads:

"This documentary series takes an in-depth look at the aftermath of the 2007 accident at Congonhas Airport in São Paulo. The disaster, which claimed 199 lives, left a lasting impact on Brazilian aviation history."

The details of the unfortunate accident relate that the airplane routinely flew between Porto Alegre and São Paulo, Brazil. However, on the day in question, its brakes failed as it was touching down at Congonhas airport. Even though the pilots tried their best to stop the plane from advancing too far, the plane ran off the runway and ended up crashing into a warehouse, which was right next to a gas station, instantly causing a fireball. All the passengers and crew on board died on impact as the aircraft exploded.

As a result of the accident, the Brazilian aviation industry was shocked to the core. Investigations were made to decipher the cause of the accident and determine whether it was avoidable or not. Subsequently, major overhauls were necessitated to make flying safer for the people. It is fair to say that the accident formed a watershed moment in the history of aviation in Brazil.
