A relative of one of the nearly 200 victims of Brazil's worst air disaster holds a poster cut in the shape of a coffin while marching towards the site where the TAM airlines A320 skidded off the runway last week and exploded, near Sao Paulo's Congonhas airport July 29, 2007. Nearly 3,000 of the victims' relatives, friends and sympathizers marched several kilometers to the airport in protest over the government's handling of the country's ten-month air crisis. The poster reads, "To land in Congonhas you have to pray."
