Rescue workers load the bagged remains of victims of Gol airlines flight 1907 that crashed in the Brazilian Amazon jungle after clipping a smaller executive jet September 29, onto a military transport plane to be taken to the capital Brasilia for 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.
