Mid Air Crash in Brazil

I just heard on the news about the Gol Airlines Flight 1907 in Brazil.

After a quick search of the net, all I could find was this:

Time: 16:50
Location:  Near Sao Felix do Araguaia , Brazil
Operator:  Gol Airlines   
Flight: 1907
AC Type:  Boeing B-737-8EH

cn: 34653/2039
Aboard:  155

Anyone got any further details? A mid air crash between a 737 and an Embaer is quite unbelievable. Don't they have ATC in Brazil?

yeah, very sad
Brand new aircraft too (737-800)- Gol said its jet had been delivered by Boeing Co. just three weeks ago, and had been flown for only 200 hours.

an absolute miracle too that one of the aircraft managed to land safely too. but like you, i cannot fathom how two modern aircraft can collide in mid air...
