Among the victims were American singer-songwriter Oliver Tree, Argentine YouTuber Gaspi, Argentine director and screenwriter Lucas A. Vignale, and Brazilian music producer Lucas Frota. The aircraft involved were PR-DJJ, a privately owned Eurocopter HB350 B Esquilo manufactured in 2012, and PP-MAC, a Bell 206B JetRanger III manufactured in 1999 and operated by Turfik Comércio de Frutas Ltda. Oswaldo de Luca Filho, the owner of PP-MAC, had previously been fined by the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC) in July 2025 for refusing to show books, accounting documents, information, and statistics to inspection agents. The pilot of the Bell helicopter was Alexandre Souza, and the passengers were Brazilian music producer Lucas Frota, American musician Oliver Tree, Argentine director and screenwriter Lucas A. Vignale, and YouTuber Gaspi. The sole occupant of the Eurocopter was pilot Charles Marsillac. Tree was in Brazil for his World's First World Tour in support of the album Love You Madly Hate You Badly, which had 70 planned concerts across 30 countries. He performed a concert in São Paulo on 6 June, and his next concert was planned for 1 July in Lisbon, Portugal. The first aircraft launched from Angra dos Reis, and the second from Jacarepaguá, both in compliance with regulations. The aircraft collided at roughly 8:59 a.m. Brasília time, above the grounds of an abandoned church that had been rented by a BYD car dealership, on the block of Avenida das Américas between Beth Lago and Rivadávia Campos streets. The Bell exploded upon impact, causing a fire that affected about 20 cars. The column of smoke was seen for miles around, including from the Zico Football Center. The Eurocopter did not catch fire and crashed with its landing gear facing upwards. Fuselages were scattered within a radius of at least 100 m (330 ft), with a tail section being found on the roof of a neighboring building. The helicopters fell in distant locations of the grounds. A security camera captured one of the helicopters falling. A witness reportedly saw one of the helicopters in flames, and a passenger jumping from another aircraft before it hit the ground.
