A mayhem has been reported in Taiwan as a Trans-Asia Airways plane with 58 passengers and crew on board, on Wednesday plunged into a river shortly after taking off from a downtown Taipei airport, killing at least 23 people and leaving about a dozen missing.
The Airport officials said the twin-engine ATR 72 aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Taipei’s Songshan Airport, en route to Kinmen Island, with 53 passengers and five-crew.
The crash occurred after the plane lurched between buildings, clipped an overpass with its port-side wing and crashed upside down in the shallow river.
The crash is the latest in a string of mishaps to hit Asian carriers in the past 12 months.
