Twelve people, including a baby, died in a small Plane Crash in the Brazilian Amazon. The single-engine Cessna Caravan crashed shortly after takeoff near the airport of Rio Branco. The plane caught fire on impact, causing a forest fire in a remote area near the borders of Peru and Bolivia. Many of the passengers were returning to the neighboring Amazonas state after receiving medical care. This is the second deadly plane crash in the Amazon region in recent months, with another crash in September killing 14 people.
