Updated on Feb 04, 2015 01:20 pm IST
At least nine people were killed and dozens were unaccounted for after a Taiwanese TransAsia Airways plane with 58 passengers and crew on board crash-landed in a Taipei river on Wednesday, officials said. Dramatic pictures taken by a motorist and posted on Twitter showed the planed cartwheeling over a motorway close to the airport soon after the turboprop ATR 72-600 aircraft took off. The civilian aeronautic authority said soon after the crash that two people had been killed. The aeronautic authority reported 16 people had been rescued, meaning as many as 33 people were still missing. Other Taiwanese government authorities said the plane was carrying 58 passengers and crew, including 31 tourists from mainland China.
