All seven occupants of the Cessna Citation XLS manufactured 2011 Business Jet registered PR-AFA died. (1) Eduardo Campos (2) Pedro Almeida Neto Valadares, 48, a lawyer, was a congressman from the state of Sergipe for three terms. Advisor to the presidential campaign. (3) Alexandre Severo Gomes da Silva, 36, born in Recife. Official photographer of the Campos campaign.

(7) Mark Martins, 42, pilot born in Cruzeiro do Oeste, in northern Paraná, formed by the Aero Club of Londrina and Maringa. Mark was married to Flavia Martins, 32, and left two sons.
Campos was due to attend a campaign event at the Port of Santos at 10:30. He had several other meetings in Santos that day and was supposed to fly back that afternoon of Santos Air Base Airport less than 12 kms from the port by road. Possible explanations for the accident are:
(a) Catastrophic failure mechanics. Similar to the Cessna Citation crash Milwaukee June 4, 2007.
(b) Bomb/ Sabotage on Board. Jammed ailerons / Hydraulics / Leme. RC activated over from the ground. (Best line of sight would be from the Monte Serrat. Two opportunities to detonate. Morning and afternoon. Where was the airplane in the hangar before 30 days?)
(c) Pilot Error - wrong turn at high speed. Spatial disorientation ?
(d) Bird or small UAV sucked into the turbine engine created open catastrophic failure.
(e) Lightning.
(f) Pilot Suicide / Murder.
(g) Hijacking. One of the passengers took control of the direction of the pilot.
(h) Terrorism. Missiles from the ground.
(i) Time. Downdraft / severe turbulence.
(j) Ran out of fuel.
(k) Other.
Maximum Rate of Climb - Straight Ascent, no bank = 17.78 meters per second Rate of Climb - Connect Banking = 8.89 meters per second Possible Maximum altitude after 12 km arc of ascent = 2610 meters Estimated altitude after 12 km turn banking arc of ascent = 1330 meters Arc Distance of the center of the lane to just above the crash site = 12 km Time of first approach runway of 1,330 m above the crash site = 2 minutes. 24 seconds Height at the lowest point of the runway before going = 50 m Accelerated to (approx.) = 300 kmh / 5 km p.m. Speed approached the runway to land first time = 200 kmh / 115 knots Stall speed of the Cessna Citation XLS = 152 kmh Terminal Velocity of 6000 kg Business Jet falling from 1,330 m = 574 kmh Plane angle, nose first to hit the ground. = 80 degrees. Upside Down / Inverted
From the day after the accident on August 14 until September 1...
The Brazilian market rose 10.6%.
The chances of "any other candidate except the incumbent" win via Oddschecker fell. 1-5 now on.
It is almost 100% guaranteed that there will be a second round on October 26, 2014.[3][4]
Aftermath
All seven people on board the aircraft were killed, including the former governor of the state of Pernambuco and presidential candidate in the 2014 Brazilian general election on October 5, Eduardo Campos; Pedro Almeida Valadares Neto, his adviser; press officer Carlos Augusto Ramos Leal Filho; photographer Alexander North Gomes e Silva; Marcelo de Oliveira Lira, a member of the electoral headquarters; and two pilots, Marcos Martins and Geraldo da Cunha. Identification of the remains was carried out through the study of dental records and DNA. The Flight Data Recorders / Cockpit voice Recorders did not record any of the previous conversations during the flight before it crashed.
Residents of the local houses were taken to hospital with injuries, one was released immediately, and five others were admitted with minor injuries: two children aged 1 and 9, three women, one of whom is elderly.
