In the center of Taiwan’s capital city Taipei this morning drivers catch a glimpse of something falling from the sky. The twin-propeller plane with 58 people on board appears to have suffered a sudden loss of power shortly after take-off. Another car also fitted with the dashboard camera was even closer. The plane ??? can be seen striking the roof of the taxi in front. The plane finally came to rest upside down and broken in a shallow river. That anyone could survive might seem extraordinary but 15 people were rescued including a two-year old boy. By nightfall they had located the cockpit. The last recorded words from the flight deck have been “May Day! May Day! Engine flameout!”.
