Overview

• Fire officials reported the Cessna 175 attempted a go‑around and crashed beside the Fazenda Barra Mansa runway in rural Aquidauana on the night of September 23.
• Authorities identified the dead as architect Kongjian Yu, filmmakers Luiz Fernando Feres da Cunha Ferraz and Rubens Crispim Jr., and pilot‑owner Marcelo Pereira de Barros.
• ANAC records list the aircraft, registration PT‑BAN and built in 1958, as approved only for visual flight in daylight conditions.
• The aircraft exploded on impact and the victims were found carbonized, with a nine‑hour recovery hampered by difficult access that required local equipment to fight the fire.
• State police (DRACCO) and firefighters secured the site while the Air Force’s SERIPA IV, linked to CENIPA, opened an aeronautical investigation; the filmmakers were documenting Yu’s sponge‑city concept.
