The Gol Airways Crash And Other Lawsuits Involving Gol Airlines No matter how comfortable the accommodations, nor the price of airfare, nothing can predict a plane crash. Gol Airline, like practically every other airline in the industry, has had its share of accidents. One famous crash happened on September 29, 2006. The Gol Transportes Aereos Flight 1907, which was a Goal Airways Boeing 737, disappeared from radar while flying over the state of Mato Grosso. In mid air, the Gol Airways flight 1907 did crash with an Embraer Legacy 600 business jet. Though the Legacy Jet landed safely with minimal damage, the Gol Airlines 737 went on to crash, killing one hundred-forty-eight passengers and six crew members on board. What The Investigation Revealed The 737 Gol Airways investigation revealed that the control tower at Sao Jose dos Campos authored the Legacy to fly at a high altitude that eventually put it in a collision route with flight 1907. Also, the Brasilia Area Control Center failed to warn Flight 1907, 737 about about presence of another aerial presence. Because of these facts, and many other examples of negligence, many lawsuits were filed against Gol Airlines. The Goal Airlines accident in Brazil is a well documented event, with many photos—of the 737, the collision, and crash photos. The Gol Airlines lawsuits over the 1907 flight are an authentic example of the importance of airline safety.
