Oh my...
I've just saw on TV this sad news and I'm posting here what I've read on CNN web site...

SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) -- Brazilian airline Gol said Friday it was trying to locate a passenger plane that disappeared from radar and failed to arrive at its destination.
The head of Brazil's airports authority, Infraero, said the Gol plane collided with a smaller aircraft in the Amazon region, the Globo news agency reported.
The smaller plane, an executive jet, landed with a damaged wing, Globo reported.
Gol flight 1907 left Manaus in the afternoon but did not arrive in Brasilia as scheduled, a spokesman for the Manaus airport said.
The company said the flight had 155 passengers on board but made no mention of crew members. Brazil's civil aviation authority said the plane was transporting 155 people.

I hope the plane landed safely somewhere. My prayers are with the passengers and the crew.
ETA 1 (September 30th): Unfortunately the airplane crashed in a remote area of Brazil and specialists said that probably there are no survivors. It's the deadliest airliner crash occurred in Brazil.
More about the accident HERE.
ETA 2: It's official now, there are no survivors. May the people who lost their relatives and friends be strong enough to go through the pain. Read more.
