In addition to the tragic effects on the families of the victims, the three-episode documentary series examines the changes that the incident brought about in the Brazilian aviation industry. The production thoroughly examines each breakdown in the series of events that resulted in the disaster.
The plane, a TAM-operated Airbus A320, did not make a proper landing at Congonhas Airport in São Paulo on the day of the terrible disaster. As per Time.com, it went over the runway and hit a gas station on Washington Luís Avenue and a TAM building, exploding.
At that time, Brazil experienced what became known as the "aviation blackout" between 2006 and 2007, a crisis in the country's civil aviation industry that affected millions of passengers through severe delays, flight cancellations, and more.
How many people died?
Along with 12 members of the ground staff, the flight carried 187 passengers and crew members who passed away. According to an investigation, the accident was caused by the awful disregard for basic safety precautions.
Families of the victims remember the day of the disaster and the traumatic wait to identify the bodies in the documentary series. Because some victims' bodies were totally destroyed in the collision, some families were unable to bury their loved ones.
A Tragedy Foretold: Flight 3054 is now streaming on Netflix.

Moreover, the editors also spoke about Renée Zellweger contending for the Emmy award, considering her Bridget Jones role in the latest installment was too good to be ignored. Schneider stated to the media portal, 'She has personified that character for years, and that's a beloved piece of IP.' He continued, 'In the rest of the world, it was a movie movie; it was in theaters… but here in America, it was on Peacock.'
