“First of all, I have some very bad news to give you and I would like everyone to stand up so that we can observe a minute of silence, because a plane has just crashed in the city of Vinhedo, in Sao Paulo,” said the president at the beginning of his speech during an official event. “It seems that everyone has died,” he added.
