TransAsia Plane Crashes Into Taipei River Shortly After Takeoff

Dramatic dashcam footage in Taiwan shows a TransAsia Airways plane scraping past a major highway moments before it careened into a shallow river, killing at least 26 people. The plane, which was carrying 58 people, clipped a bridge shortly after Wednesday’s takeoff from Taipei’s downtown Sungshan Airport, state media said. The plane was visible from Taiwan’s busy National Freeway No. 1 just seconds before the crash.
