SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) - A helicopter carrying Brazil's Senate president and a gubernatorial candidate crashed just before landing Saturday, but nobody aboard was injured, a spokesman said.
The crash occurred a day before national elections and a day after an airliner slammed into the ground in the remote Amazon jungle with 155 people aboard, with authorities saying they had little hope of finding survivors.
The helicopter carrying Senate President Renan Calheiros, a candidate for governor in the northeastern state of Alagoas, Teotonio Vilela, and two other people went down in the city of Arapiraca, some 1,150 miles northeast of Sao Paulo.
