The EMB 110 aircraft took off from Sao Luís Airport and was carrying band members for the Brazilian singer Tierry, who was not aboard.



Producer Renato Butica was near the open door and captured video as the plane descended for the emergency landing. Passengers at first began to scream in fear, Butica said, before they began calming down.
