(CNN)Dramatic dashboard video shows the moment an out-of-control plane clips an aerial highway before crashing into a river in Taiwan.
Thirteen people are confirmed dead and dozens remain missing after the TransAsia Airways ATR-72, carrying 58 people, veered out of control en route from Taipei to Kinmen, off the coast of the Chinese province of Xiamen.
Rescuers were working Wednesday to pull survivors from the submerged wreck of the twin engine turboprop aircraft. Of the 58 people on board, 13 were confirmed dead, 28 injured and the remainder remain missing.
The astonishing dashcam video showed the moment the plane hurtled out of control above the city's Nanhu Bridge before crashing into the Keelung River, just after 11 a.m. local time (10 p.m. ET).
Taiwan's official news agency CNA reported that the pilot appeared to try to control the plane as it descended, but the aircraft's wing grazed the overpass, clipping a passing taxi.
The two people in the taxi were injured but in a stable condition after being taken to hospital, CNA said.
Video from the scene showed rescuers in lifeboats trying to pull survivors from the water and the wreckage.
Some passengers appeared to be wearing lifejackets as they waited their turn to board rescue boats.
The military said it had 165 personnel and numerous vehicles nearby to assist rescue efforts if required.
TransAsia CEO apologizes
Hours after the crash, TransAsia Airways CEO Chen Xinde extended a "deep apology to the victims and our crew."
He said 31 of the passengers aboard the flight were Chinese tourists, including three children. Twenty-two were from Taiwan, including one child.
The airline had sent the passenger manifest to authorities, and families were confirming the identities of the deceased, he said.
Airline staff have been dispatched to hospitals to provide assistance to families and the injured, as well as the taxi driver and passenger who were also receiving treatment.
Some were also going to Xiamen to assist two Chinese travel agencies, Chen said.
Chinese Tourists
The 31 Chinese tourists were traveling in two tour groups: the Xiamen Airlines International Travel Service Co. and the Xiamen Tourism Group International Travel Service Co.
Chou Jih-shine, the vice chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation -- a quasi-governmental agency which covers cross-Taiwan Strait negotiations -- said that the agency had informed its Beijing counterpart. Chou added that the agency had sent personnel to the crash site.
Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) said the plane was less than a year old and had last completed a safety check on January 26. The agency did not offer any information on what may have caused the crash.
Last year, an older TransAsia ATR 72, which was attempting to land in the Taiwanese Penghu Islands crashed, resulting in 49 deaths. |

19 believed dead, 24 missing in TransAsia crash in Taipei
Taiwan News, Staff Writer
2015-02-04 02:37 PM
PEI (Taiwan News) – At least 19 people were reported dead and 24 were missing after a TransAsia Airways flight from Taipei to Kinmen hit an elevated highway and then plunged into the Keelung River in Taipei Wednesday.
The plane, an ATR-72-600 barely one year old, took off from Taipei Songshan Airport at 10:53 a.m. with 53 passengers and five crew members on board but crashed just ten minutes later. Passengers included two children and two groups totaling 31 Chinese tourists on their way home to Xiamen in Fujian Province.
Rescue efforts to remove survivors from the wreckage on the river in Taipei’s Nangang District continued throughout the afternoon. Frogmen dived into the water to seek survivors, while an unknown number of people were still believed to be trapped in the fuselage.
A three-year-old boy had been found alive, but the other infant on the flight was still missing by 2 p.m.
The injured people rescued from the wreckage were divided over eight hospitals. By 4 p.m., 19 people were pronounced dead or showed no sign of life, while 15 were treated for injuries and 24 were still missing, reports said. An injured person was reportedly found at the Dajia Riverside Park, while six of those rescued were picked out of the river downstream from the site of the accident. Water department employees set up a barrier to catch any more passengers floating away, reports said.
The plane was still floating on the river close to Jingmao Second Road in Nangang and the Nanyang Bridge in Xizhi, New Taipei City. Rescue workers aided by the military set up a floating bridge from the river bank to the wreckage.
Cable stations played footage of the plane flying low over the elevated highway, its right wing up in the air and its left wing smashing into the road and hitting a taxi. The driver and a female passenger were taken to hospital, but they were not severely injured, reports said.
According to media reports, the pilot of flight GE-235 had called in “Mayday” within two minutes of takeoff and mentioned engine trouble. The aircraft was only 5 kilometers away from the airport at the time. Eyewitnesses said the pilot tried to pull up the plane after hitting the bridge but failed.
According to a map released by the authorities, the flight should have turned south immediately and then west, but instead, it went straight east, crossing the Keelung River several times.
The aircraft was a newer version of the same plane which crashed after an aborted landing in Penghu last July 23, killing 49 people. The Civil Aeronautics Administration said the aircraft involved in Wednesday’s disaster had just completed a safety review on January 26. The pilot, Liao Chien-tsung, had 4,914 hours on his record and his co-pilot Liu Tzu-chung 6,922 hours, the authorities said.
TransAsia canceled the next flight destined for Kinmen, originally scheduled for 3 p.m. Wednesday.
The airline’s management came out to bow for 40 seconds as an apology for the crash, but they were unable to provide any more details about the cause of the accident.
Media listed eight incidents involving TransAsia-operated ATR-72 aircraft over the past 13 years, though not all of them resulted in fatalities.
The accident was expected to revive the debate about the future of Taipei Songshan Airport. Closing it down and moving the flights to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport has been a demand from some politicians since 2002, but the airport has recently seen an increase in flights, in particular to China, Japan and other nearby Asian destinations.

Chinese tourists move itinerary ahead only to run into crash
Central News Agency
2015-02-04 04:06 PM
Taipei, Feb. 4 (CNA) Fifteen Chinese tourists met with misfortune Wednesday as they moved their itineraries ahead to take TranAsia Airways (????) flight GE-235, which crashed into the Keelung River in Taipei's Nangang District after hitting a bridge. The tourists, all from China's Xiamen, were about to conclude a six-day trip after traveling from southern Taiwan's Kaohsiung north to scenic areas of Alishan, Sun Moon Lake in central Taiwan, and to Taipei. According to their earlier plan, they were to take flight GE-237 at 1:00 p.m. to the outlying island of Kinmen and transfer via ferry to Xiamen. But they took flight GE-235 instead, which took off from Taipei Songshan Airport at 10:52 a.m. en route to Kinmen, and crashed shortly. Another 16 Chinese tourists, hosted by Teyung Tours (?????), who arrived in southern Taiwan Jan. 30, were also aboard the plane. (By Angela Tsai and Lee Hsin-Yin) |

Pilot of ill-fated plane calls out 'mayday' before crash
Central News Agency
2015-02-04 03:04 PM
Taipei, Feb. 4 (CNA) Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) said the pilot of a TransAsia Airways plane that crashed into a river in Taipei clearly signaled that an emergency had occurred moments before crashing. The CAA said that based on a recording of communications between the cockpit of the ill-fated plane and the control tower, the pilot called out "mayday" three times at 10:54 a.m., shortly after it took off from Songshan Airport for Kinmen and just before it crashed.
The recording did not offer any other clues as to what may have happened that caused the plane to go down. As of 2 p.m., 29 of the 58 people on board had been found, with 12 confirmed dead, 16 injured and one showing no signs of life on the way to the hospital. The other 29 were thought to still be trapped in the plane's fuselage or floating in the river. The CAA said the Aviation Safety Council will investigate the cause of the crash but that in the meantime it will assess whether to ground other ATR72-600 aircraft in Taiwan similar to the model that crashed into the Keelung River on Wednesday.
"The CAA will make a further assessment and then decide whether to ground the same type of planes," said CAA Director-General Lin Tyh-ming (???). Lin said the ill-fated plane was delivered within the last year and completed its latest safety checks on Jan. 26. The new plane was part of an effort by TransAsia in recent years to modernize its aging fleet. It purchased 12 ATR72-600 planes in 2012, with five delivered last year and the order to be completed by 2017.
The accident was the airline's second in the last seven months. An older TransAsia Airways ATR72-500 crashed in outlying Penghu County in July 2014 after an aborted landing, a disaster that left 49 people dead. (By Wang Shu-fen and Lilian Wu) |
