A small plane that was carrying passengers crashed in the Amazon rain forest while trying to land during a heavy rainstorm.

The plane had left Manaus, the capital of Amazonas state in Brazil, and was attempting to land in Barcelos when it had an accident and crashed on Saturday.

All 14 people who were on the plane died. It is thought that the people on the plane were Brazilian tourists going to fish.

The Globo TV network shared a video showing a plane on a dirty road surrounded by plants.
