A bride’s plan for a grand entrance at her wedding took a tragic turn when she set off in a helicopter to surprise her groom.
The groom was heartbroken upon discovering the devastating news of his bride’s death en route to their wedding.
In 2016, Rosemere do Nascimento Silva from Sao Paolo, Brazil, intended to astonish her fiancé, Udirley Damasceno, by making her entrance at their wedding ceremony via helicopter.
Tragically, Rosemere never reached the event, as the helicopter crashed approximately a mile from the wedding location in Osasco, Greater São Paulo.
Footage capturing the bride’s last moments has been widely shared online, leaving viewers shocked by the sudden turn of events.
The video shows Rosemere traveling with her brother beside her, the pilot, and a photographer who was six months pregnant at the time.
The heart-wrenching footage captures the group smiling at the camera before the situation rapidly deteriorates.
The video depicts the helicopter enveloped in fog, with alarms blaring, as expressions of joy turn to terror.
The recording becomes unstable as the helicopter descends, ultimately crashing and killing all on board. The flight was intended to last just 15 minutes.
Sao Paolo authorities, along with aeronautics experts, suspect the helicopter collided with a tree due to poor visibility caused by rain, fog, and clouds. The Robinson 44 helicopter was found in a wooded area.
The victims were identified as pilot Peterson Pinheiro, Rosemere’s brother Silvano Nascimento da Silva, and pregnant photographer Nayla Cristina Neves.
Inquiries have arisen online about the pilot’s decision to fly in such adverse conditions. An investigation provided more clarity on the matter.
A Globo report stated that the helicopter departed with clear visibility around 4 P.M on December 4, 2016, but approximately 21 minutes later, weather conditions worsened, challenging the pilot’s navigation.
Carlos Eduardo Batista, one of the coordinators of Rosemere’s wedding, remarked post-crash: “All brides have a dream and hers was to arrive by helicopter to their wedding without anyone knowing.”
Upon receiving the tragic news, Udirley reportedly experienced immense shock.
