Moments before the crash

Just a few minutes into the flight, the plane's turboprop engine experienced a severe mechanical failure, followed by a breakdown in communication between the captain, Liao Chien-tsung, and his co-pilot Liu Tze-chung. The pilots, instead of immediately shutting down the malfunctioning engine, tried to make a quick retreat to the airport. However, they lost control and the plane began to nosedive into the Keeling River.

During its descent, the plane hit a bridge and collided with a taxi cab, which was thankfully occupied by only two individuals who were able to escape with minor injuries. Sadly, the crash resulted in the loss of 43 passengers on Flight 235, with only 15 individuals surviving. The tragedy marked the second major incident in just seven months for TransAsia Airways, leading to the eventual closure of the airline.
