Transasia Crash: Eight Dead As Plane Crashes Into Taiwan River by DrPrickson: 7:06am On Feb 04, 2015
At least eight people have died after a TransAsia
Airways plane clipped a bridge and crashed into a river
near the Taiwanese capital, Taipei.

Fifty-eight people were onboard the domestic flight, and a
number of people were reportedly injured.

Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA) broadcast footage of
the plane almost submerged in the Keelung river.
Rescue teams are alongside the plane trying to rescue about
30 people still trapped inside.

The ATR-72 had just taken off from Taipei Songshan Airport
and was headed to the outlying Kinmen islands, just off the
coast of south-east China, CNA said.
Flight controllers lost contact with the plane at 10:55 local
time (02:55 GMT).

Footage of the plane apparently filmed from inside passing
cars showed it banking sharply, hitting a taxi and clipping
the bridge before crashing into the river.
