Brazilian soldiers carry the coffins of some of the 14 people who died in a plane crash near a remote town in the Brazilian Amazon. The bodies have been evacuated at the Manaus Air Base to be identified while an investigation begins. Investigators traveled Sunday to a remote town in the Brazilian Amazon to probe a plane crash that killed 14 people and left no survivors, as authorities brought the bodies to be identified. The small turboprop plane was flying a group of Brazilian sport fishermen into the northern town of Barcelos Saturday when it crashed in stormy weather, apparently after starting its descent too late and skidding off the end of the runway, said officials in Amazonas state.
