44. The tragic flight of Trans Asia Airways Flight 235
In 2015, the Trans Asia Airways flight 235 was an ATR 72-600 aircraft en route to Kinmen, China from Taipei Songshan Airport, Taiwan. It had 53 passengers and five crew on board. But shortly after takeoff, one of its turboprop engines suffered a flameout. The plane descended rapidly into the busy roads of Taiwan, clipping a taxi before crashing into the Keelung River. Fifteen passengers were killed.
