Brazil Plane Crash May Haunt Gov.

Brazil's worst airliner crash could predicted because air safety concerns have been aired in congressional hearings for months, and pilots and traffic controllers have worried about the short, slippery runways at Brazil's busiest airport for a long time.The runway appears to have been a key factor of the crash. Critics criticized President Luis Inacio da Silva's government for failing to invest in safety measures adopted by other urban airports and failing to fix Brazil's air traffic problems in the months since 154 people were killed in the September collision of a Gol Airlines Boeing 737 with a small jet over the Amazon rainforest.
