2 execs die in crash:

Two senior executives from Bradesco, Brazil’s second-biggest private bank, have been killed in a business jet crash.

Marco Antonio Rossi, head of the insurance branch, and Lucio Flavio Conduru de Oliveira, who headed the pensions division, were killed late Tuesday, the bank said.

The pilot and co-pilot of the Cessna 650 jet, bought by Bradesco in 2011, also perished 25 minutes into the flight that left Brasilia for Sao Paulo.

“These early deaths tragically interrupted professional paths that had been marked by victories and conquests,” Bradesco said. (AFP)
