Amazing picture (and dash cam video) of latest Asia plane crash
TransAsia Turboprop ATR-72 Crashes Into Taiwan River, Killing 26 - NBC News
The dashcam video is embedded in the story above. http://media2.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscm...ux-720-440.jpg And here's the cab it clipped on the way in: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8-t3ABIQAADn3E.jpg |
Unfreakingbelievable! :eek:

Wow! The guy in the cab must have felt lucky to survive (assuming he did).
|
Holy crap. It's hard to believe anyone survived that.
|
Did the pilot bank the plane to miss an electric tower before heading to the river? Looked to me like he might have in that NBC video.
|
Sad for the loss of life.
That cab driver needs to play the lottery. Can you imagine the call to his insurance? |
Almost looks as if the left prop isn't spinning?
|
My thought also.
|
If you stop the original video at certain points, it appears that the port engine is windmilling, while the starboard engine is still running. That could account for why the left wing dropped.

I've read a couple reports that the pilot had called a mayday and stated "engine flameout."
|
My guess is that he had a problem with the plane and was trying to get to the river a la Sully Sullenberger.
That cab driver survived. Had he been in the right hand lane, I don't think he would have. This is the cab the plane clipped: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8-t3ABIQAADn3E.jpg |
