"would that happen in a western country,would the search be called off." - As
JBird said in those conditions it would be, don't forget JAL123 where the search was called off for the night - only 4 of many made it through that night.
Also - Brazil is a western country

The AP is reporting that all 30 passengers and 3 crew members were killed. My thoughts are with the family and loved ones of everyone on board. This crash reminds me of my days with ASA and the 2 Brasilia crashes that we had. I haven't read that any distress call went out from the pilots so whatever happend must have happend quickly.

I ont think its fair to ask if that woud happen in a 'western country. But you cant realy say cos its so geographically a huge area-look at Alive for instance; that search, was quite understandably called off. '

PlaneviewNYC... I think it's just you. According to http://www.airdisaster.com there have only been seven fatal crashes involving the EMB 120. Also, the EMB 120s accident rate is .71 per seven million flights, and ranks 8th out of 19 in safety. It's accident rate is near that of the A320 family (including A319, A320, A321), which ranked seventh. More can be found at http://www.airdisaster.com/statistics/. For statistics, the SAAB 340 was ranked safest based on number of fatal incidents per flights performed and the MD-80 ranked second. The Concorde ranked last and the MD-11 ranked second to last. FYI.
