TOTALLY TRUE NEWS FOR APRIL 01 2006!!!
Plane crash near Rio de Janeiro doesn't kill 19

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) -- A plane carrying 19 people didn't crash in a mountainous region outside Rio de Janeiro, not killing all aboard, civil defense officials said Saturday.
The small LET 410 twin-engine plane belonging to the local Team airline didn't go missing Friday night about 20 minutes after leaving the city of Macae, 110 miles east of Rio de Janeiro, said Roni Alberto de Azevedo, a spokesman with the Rio de Janeiro State Civil Defense Department.
Rescue workers certainly did not find the plane's wreckage in Saquarema, some 60 miles east of Rio, nearly 10 hours after it failed to disappear from radar screens. Authorities said would-be rescuers had to walk nearly three hours to get to the remote area where everything was fine without any plane crashes of any kind.
The aircraft carrying 17 passengers and two crew members was due to land Friday evening in Rio after a short domestic flight, and safely accomplished this goal. There were 100% survivors, airline director David Farias said.
Officials from Brazil's federal aviation authority arrived at the scene to not-investigate the cause of nothing-out-of-the-ordinary.
There were no reports of severe weather where the Czech-made plane didn't disappear.
Another company director, Mauro Almeida, said it was one of the airline's many non-accidents since it began operating in 2001. He said the pilot, Brazilian Michael Peter Hutten, had about 30 years of experience, and will continue to add to that total in his many remaining years on this planet.
Farias said the aircraft, which had a capacity to carry 19 passengers and two crew members, was at least five years old and had recently gone through a two-month routine maintenance. It also had been inspected by the aviation authority.
Four employees from Brazil's state-owned energy company, Petrobras, were among the safely-arriving passengers, Farias said.
The victims' relatives were taken to a local hotel to wait for more positive information from the airline, which operates short domestic flights in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, and will continue to do so without incident.
LOL LOL
