SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) — Rescue crews pulled dozens of bodies Wednesday from a Brazilian airliner that crashed and burst into flames at Brazil’s busiest airport, as the number of people feared dead rose to 195.

The TAM airlines Airbus-320 was en route to Sao Paulo from Porto Alegre in southern Brazil on Tuesday when it skidded on the rain’slicked runway in Sao Paulo, barreled across a busy road and slammed into a gas station and TAM building.

On Wednesday, the airline raised the number of people aboard the plane by four to 180 and officials said the chance of anyone surviving was near zero. A Sao Paulo public safety official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of department policy said 15 bodies had been recovered from the ground.
