Parachute saved the plane from crashing: Safe landing in the jungle of Brazil

This must have happened hundreds of times in the aviation sector when pilots or other crew members escaped with the help of parachutes before the plane crashed. Although this case is different. An incident related to air travel took place in Brazil, which may have never been seen or heard of before.
Here a small passenger aircraft was saved from crashing with the help of a parachute. There were 6 passengers in this single-engine aircraft. All of them are safe. There were also two children among them. One was only three days old at the time of the accident. The video of the incident is going viral.
According to media reports, some tourists were roaming in Belo Horizonte, a densely forested area of Brazil. Suddenly his eyes went toward the sky. A plane was coming down fast, but within a few seconds, the speed of falling down this plane decreased equally fast. A white and red parachute opened above the plane. Its strong cables supported the aircraft.
After some time, this plane hit the ground in the middle of the forest at a very slow speed and stopped. It neither caught fire nor broke. According to reports, the engine of this aircraft failed at an altitude of about 28 thousand feet. This was a fatal case because this aircraft was a single-engine.
According to the world daily 'The National', a new technology 'Siris Airframe Parachute System' was used in this aircraft. You can also call it an automatic electronic sensor device. To a lesser extent, this technology is similar to the airbag concept used in cars.
In the area of Brazil where this incident took place, there are dense forests. Incidents of fire also keep happening. Therefore, the fire service here is always alert. As soon as this accident happened, the team fire brigade reached the aircraft and took out everyone including 2 children from the aircraft.
The name of this aircraft is Cirrus SR-22 and it is manufactured in America. According to an expert, the safety system of Cirrus SR-22 is for crew members or passengers. It was seen for the first time that the entire aircraft was saved with the help of a parachute.
In January this year too, a similar plane crash was narrowly avoided. The parachute was also used to save it. Although the video could not be revealed then. There is also an emergency side door in this plane. If the main door is locked for any reason, people can leave through the emergency side door. In 2014, crew members were rescued in Australia's Blue Mountains with the help of this technique.
In January 2022, a 7-seater aircraft named Vision Jet SF50 also survived an accident in Orlando, USA. Even then all three passengers were saved by parachute.
