A Trans Asia airways plane carrying 53 passengers
& five crew crashed into a shallow river this morning February 4th in
Taiwan, killing at least 12 people. 16 people have been rescued alive and about
30 are missing.
The crash was caught on the dashcam of a car driving through the bride. It shows the plane clipping a bridge shortly after take-off this morning from Taipei's Sungshan Airport and crashing into the Keelung river.
The plane's wings also hit a taxi on the freeway, seriously injuring the driver. Rescue workers are currently at the scene and have been able to pull people alive from the wreckage. But they believe most of the people in front of the plane are like to have lost their lives as they continue rescue efforts. See the dramatic photos of the crash after the cut...
