The executive jet managed to land safely at a remote military airport, but the Gol Linhas Aéreas commercial airliner it collided with did not have such a fortunate fate: It nose-dived to the ground, killing all 154 people on board.

Both placed blame on air traffic controllers but never fully resolved who was at fault or why the planes were flying at the same altitude.
