The Embraer 190 shows 1 incident, but when you click to read the details, there were two fatal accidents. Why the discrepancy?
> This is not a numbered fatal event because the Legacy aircraft, although based on the design of the ERJ135 regional airliner, was not airline passenger flight.
This particular crash is widely known here in Brazil. The two pilots from the small aircraft had turned off the plane transponder. They had a mid-air collision with a 737. Everyone at the 737 died.
The two pilots of the Embraer 190 are Americans. They were sentenced to jail in Brazilian court but were never arrested to this day (not sure why).

America believes that the collision was caused by a mistake by Brazilian ATC (instructing them to fly at the wrong altitude), not the pilots turning off the transponder, and that it was an accident not a crime.
