TransAsia Plane Crash

[xxMATTGxx]

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.

He was incredibly low to those apartment blocks! I can only image what would've happened if he'd gone into one of those. 30 people still trapped inside and it's almost fully submerged. I could think of nothing worse

RIP to those who've died.

Awful. That video is unbelievable, it just comes out of nowhere and hits the yellow car!

RIP

Oh wow, that's amazing! Lucky that so few died as it looks like a pretty spectacular crash. How did it happen though?
