Dashcam Video Shows Fatal Plane Bridge Crash

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 04 Februari 2015 | 23.21

At least 25 people have been killed and 17 are missing after a passenger jet crashed into a river in Taiwan minutes after takeoff.

There were 58 people on board the TransAsia ATR 72-600 plane when it hit a road bridge in the capital Taipei. Fifteen survived.

Video taken by a passing driver's dashcam shows the aircraft's wing clipping a taxi after managing to avoid nearby buildings.

It then disappears from view, coming down on its side in the Keelung River about 25 metres (30 yards) from the bank.

A crane has now lifted the wreckage onto the shore enabling rescuers to search the fuselage, where more bodies are expected to be found.

Wu Jun-hong, a Taipei fire department official coordinating the rescue operation, said earlier those missing were either in the fuselage or had been swept down river.

"Things don't look too optimistic," Mr Wu told reporters at the scene. "Those in the front of the plane are likely to have lost their lives."

According to reports, the plane took off from Taipei's Sungshan airport at 10.53am local time and lost contact with air traffic control two minutes later.

It was heading for the Kinmen islands, and as many as 31 passengers were Chinese, three of them children. Kinmen's airport is a common link between Taipei and China's Fujian province.
