Didn't see any mention of this. TransAsia flight out of Taiwan clips bridge and lands in river, current estimates say at least a dozen fatalities, and many people unaccounted for. Insane footage.

Looks like the pilot lost control of that plane well before the bridge.
Reports of a failure or was he just an idiot?

Jesus that's crazy.

Looks like it was stalling coming over the buildings. I think either too heavy or loss of engine power after takeoff.

Wonder if the driver had to change his pants, that's a whole new level of merging traffic.
What's going on with all the asian plane crashes? Tranasia crashed another plane last July too.

The van is a taxi and the driver was injured but not killed I believe. I think the pilot did an awesome job in landing it in the river in a area with so many buildings. RIP to all the people who passed.

I don't think I'm flying on any airline that has 'asia' as part of its name

Saw on reddit that the taxi cab driver and passenger were okay, just bumps and bruises. Apparently an engine went out and the guess is that the pilot aimed for the river, trying to avoid the buildings & casualties.
15 survivors from the plane....wow.

That cab made out pretty well, all things considered.

Looks like a typical stall-crash caused by one engine inoperative and SOPs not being followedNose is way too high.
Kudos to the pilots for not hitting the buildings though.
(The ATR72 has a very small margin of error in an OEI state as the aircraft does not have very powerful engines for its capacity, as compared to a Q400 for eg.)

That is absolutely insane.
RIP to the people that didn't make it.
