The bagged remains of victims of Gol airlines flight 1907 which crashed in the Brazilian Amazon jungle after clipping a smaller executive jet on September 29, are lowered from a helicopter to a refrigerator truck to be stored awaiting identification, on the Jarina ranch near the crash site, October 4, 2006. Brazilian authorities believe the two American pilots of the smaller plane may have shut off their transponder, rendering its anti-collision system useless, before crossing paths with the commercial airliner that crashed in the Amazon, killing all 155 people on board.
