At least 19 people were killed Wednesday after a Taiwanese flight with 58 people on board turned onto its side shortly after takeoff, clipped a bridge and crashed into a river in the island's capital of Taipei.
The death toll in the TransAsia Airways flight disaster was expected to increase as rescue crews cleared the mostly sunken fuselage in the Keelung River. Teams in rubber rafts clustered around the wreckage, several dozen yards from the shore. Officials said 15 people were injured, and 24 were unaccounted for. Taiwan's tourism bureau said thirty-one of the passengers were from China.
The French-Italian-built ATR 72 prop aircraft pivoted onto its side with one wing scraping past Taiwan's busy National Freeway No. 1 just before it plunged into the river, local television images showed. The plane's wing also hit a taxi, the driver of which was injured, on the freeway just before it crashed into the river, Taiwanese broadcaster TVBS reported.
