The Flight 1907 Crash
The Gol airways flight 1907 crash is the most recent tragedy in gol airway history. The gol airways 737 crash happened on September 29, 2006 over a remote location of the Amazon jungle. The gol airlines Boeing 737-800 was reported as gone from the radar while flying over Brazil. The gol airline plane crash happened because the gol aircraft collided with a Legacy jet in mid-air. The Legacy aircraft was able to land safely with minimal damage to the plane and no one on board was injured. However, the gol airlines aircraft crashed in the Amazon, killing all 148 passengers and 6 crew members on board. This gol airlines collision crash was at the center of media attenention for awhile. The wreckage was difficult to locate in the Amazon jungle, so there were many gol airline 737 photos of the area taken in order to located any possible survivors. No survivors were found depsite search efforts.

As the lawsuits involving the gol airlines and the gol airways investigation got underway, it has so far been found that the Legacy’s transponder was not working properly. In addition, that plane lost communication with the tower and the Brazilian area control tower failed to alert the gol aircraft about the other plane. It appears that the lawsuits against gol airlines have some merit. There is so far been no resolutions in these lawsuits, as the crash happened so recently.

Depsite the crash, many passengers still travel with gol airlines. You can find out all the flight information and scheduling on the gol airlines website.
