Thruster blaimed in Brazil crash


Investigators say one of three thrusters was turned off on the Brazil airplane that crashed earlier this week, killing all 186 passengers.

They are still trying to find out why the plane did not slow down on the runway.

Airport officials said the thruster was turned off as part of routine maintenance as prosecutors asked a federal judge to paralyze the airport.
