From the Wikipedia article
On 16 September 2023, an Embraer 110 Bandeirante of Manaus Aerotáxi crashed on approach. The crash occurred as the aircraft was attempting to land at Barcelos Airport while performing a go-around, killing all 14 occupants on board. All the occupants on board were tourists going to a fishing competition in Rio Negro.
Background
The accident took place during the high rainy season.
Barcelos is known for ecotourism activities, particularly fishing, and it is one of the main sport fishing destinations in Brazil.
Accident
The aircraft was on final approach after an aborted landing and an attempt to go-around in heavy rain and bad weather conditions when it crashed into an embankment short of the runway. All the occupants on board the aircraft died. There was no post-crash fire.
Early reports stated that American citizens were among the victims; later reports stated that all the passengers were Brazilians.
Due to the bad weather, other airplanes that approached the airport at around the same time returned to Manaus.
Investigation and cause

An investigation is launched into the cause of the accident. The bodies were taken to Manaus for formal identification.
