Influencers' Reckless Airport Stunt Under Federal Investigation

Influencers' Runway Stunt Sparks Federal Police Investigation in Rio Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – Two influencers, Thiago and Gabriel Jatobá, are under investigation by the Federal Police following a dangerous stunt at Rio de Janeiro's Tom Jobim International Airport. The pair illegally accessed the airport runway at night to film videos of aircraft. Their actions, captured on video and initially shared on social media, have raised serious concerns about aviation safety. The videos, which have since been deleted, show the influencers navigating security fences and venturing onto the active runway. One video shows Thiago Jatobá stating, "O avião tá vindo, mano" (The plane is coming, man). The close proximity of the influencers to moving aircraft clearly violated airport regulations and posed a significant safety risk. "This is a very serious infraction," stated a spokesperson for the Federal Police, who confirmed the investigation. The incident underscores the importance of maintaining strict security protocols at airports to prevent such reckless behavior in the future. The investigation will determine the full extent of the influencers' actions and what penalties they may face.
