From Times Wire Reports
Authorities said there were no survivors among the 155 people aboard the Brazilian jetliner that crashed deep in the Amazon jungle, as rescue workers began to pull bodies out of the twisted wreckage.
The Boeing 737-800 apparently clipped a smaller executive jet in midair Friday, crashing in jungle so dense that crews had to cut down trees to clear a space for rescue helicopters to land. The smaller plane, carrying Americans, landed safely at a nearby air force base.
