"If it had hit the sides, it could have struck some residences; those apartments were occupied.
"What we saw was the structure of the aircraft projected inside the stairwell, without hitting any other apartments."
Earlier reports following the crash had confirmed that the pilot was trapped within the wreckage of the airplane before their death.
According to local reports, no one in the building was injured.

Avani Soares, who lives in the building hit by the aircraft said she thought "the world had ended".
She told TV Globo: "Everything went dark, a lot of debris fell, and I thought, ‘the world has ended.’ On the other floor, there were people screaming for help. I didn’t know what to do.
"Then I ran to the window because it had gone completely dark. Then I saw it and said, ‘it can’t be, a plane.’
"There was a strong smell of fuel. I just grabbed my phone and glasses, and went downstairs, I didn’t grab anything else."
