“I should have been on that plane that crashed but my father had a premonition: he asked me to postpone the departure, so I was saved”

A last-minute change of plans, suggested by a father’s intuition, saved the life of Juliana Chiumento, Brazilian doctor, from the air tragedy that shocked Brazil. Flight 2283 of the Voepass Air Lines, departed from Cascavel and headed to Sao Paulo, crashed causing the death of 62 people. Juliana was supposed to be on board, but advice from her father Altermir led her to reschedule the flight, a gesture that turned out to be miraculous.

Altermir, in a moving interview, told of his premonition: “I felt I had to ask her to postpone the flight.. I told her: ‘Daughter, stay with me a little longer.’ And she changed her plans.” Juliana, initially uncertain, followed her father’s advice, moving the trip to Saturday. A decision born from an inexplicable premonition, which saved her life.

“I had no idea how important that choice would be”Juliana said, grateful for the second chance she was given. “Now, every time I get on a plane, I will remember this gift.” Among the victims of the crash were friends of Juliana, with whom she was supposed to continue her journey to Rio de Janeiro. “I lost very dear friends,” she said with pain. “They were people with whom I would have shared the next few days. But I feel I have to live for them too.” Juliana’s father, shocked, expressed gratitude for his daughter’s life and deep sorrow for the other families affected. “While I thank God for protecting my daughterI can’t help but think of the families who are mourning their loved ones today.”

The plane, which took off without apparent problems, suddenly crashed after a flight of 1 hour and 35 minutes, crashing in a residential area near Sao Paulo. Experts suspect that the spiral fall may have been caused by a stalla phenomenon in which the plane loses lift. Voepass Linhas Aéreas said the plane was in perfect condition and that there had been no warning signs.It’s a mystery we’re investigating.”a spokesperson for the company said. This accident is the most serious air tragedy in Brazil since 2007. The entire nation is in mourning. Juliana, while grateful for her safety, shares the country’s grief. “I can’t explain how I feel”he said. “It’s a mixture of gratitude and immense pain.”
