15 people dead in TransAsia Airways GE235 plane crash & 13 injured including two infants.



This is so sad.....The passenger plane clipped a road bridge and crashed into a river in Taiwan on Wednesday with 58 people on board .30 passengers remain unaccounted for as the rescue operation in the capital city of Taipei continues.

Terrifying footage of the disaster, filmed by a passing motorist's dashboard camera, showed the aircraft plunging into the water only three minutes after taking off from an airport which was 5km away.
Many passengers are still believed to be trapped inside the TransAsia Airways GE235 plane while those that have been rescued have been taken to hospital,The Straits Times reports.

On board the plane were  53 passengers and five crew, 31 of whom were tourists from mainland China.
A taxi driver was also taken to hospital after suffering severe head injuries and concussion when the plane crushed his vehicle before colliding with the bridge
