Joe Sharkey, a freelance US journalist who was on a business jet involved in a mid-air collision with a Brasilian airliner three years ago said he has been sued for defamation in Brasil.
Sharkey was a passenger on the business jet which collided at 37,000 feet on September 29, 2006 with a Boeing 737, killing all 154 people aboard the Brasilian airliner.
Sharkey and the six other people aboard the business jet survived after making an emergency landing in the jungle.
Sharkey said the lawsuit against him was over a personal blog he maintained and television and radio interviews he conducted after the accident.
