On August 9th, Voepass Linhas Aéreas Flight 2283 suddenly crashed in São Paulo, Brazil. Tragically, the crash killed all 62 people on board.

Spared from this tragedy, however, was Adriano Assis, who apparently showed up to the flight late enough that the gate was closed. However, he wasn’t having it, arguing with the people at the gate to “c’mon, just let me on the plane — I still see it out there!”

In short, he wasn’t allowed back on the plane, and continuing to watch the aircraft, he soon saw it crash and all of its passengers die, leading to him hugging the gate agent who stopped him from getting on the plane.

I’m sure we would all do the same thing.
