TransAsia plane crash : Twelve dead out of Fifty-eight passengers onboard

At least 12 people have died after a TransAsia Airways plane clipped a bridge and crashed into a river near the Taiwanese capital, Taipei.

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 several people still trapped inside.

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


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.

Ken Kuan who works nearby, saw the plane just before it hit the bridge and says he thinks the pilot was trying to avoid crashing into buildings.
