Women cry while visiting the crash site of the TAM airlines Airbus A320 that slid off the runway of Congonhas airport and crashed into a building, killing all the passengers and crew in Sao Paulo July 18, 2007. Rescue workers hunted for bodies in the smoking wreckage of an airliner on Wednesday after it crashed at Brazil's busiest airport, killing up to 200 people in the country's worst air disaster. The terminal at Sao Paulo's Congonhas airport echoed with the shock and sorrow of survivors and relatives of the dead.
