A TAM Airlines Airbus A- 320, (Brazil registration PR-MBK), en route from Porto Alegre to Sao Paulo, crashed while landing at Congonhas Airport, departing airport boundaries and striking a building. Fire ensued. All 186 people on board the flight died as well as several more on the ground. The accident is being investigated by the Brazilian authorities.

Kreindler currently represents victims from the Brazilian GOL Airline disaster in U.S. litigation, including the family of the only American killed in that crash.
