The video of plane crashing was caught by a traveller on the bridge and this dashcam video has gone viral across the world. This dashcam footage clearly shows how plane’s left wing hit the bridge and crashed into the river.

Many Taiwanese had paid homage to the pilot, believing that pilot with his remarkable skills had saved the country from bigger incident, by avoiding the plane from hitting or crashing into public places like school, roads and nearby apartments.

In last one year, it was second aircraft of TransAsia that had crashed. Last July a TransAsia plane crashed while making a landing in a stormy weather on the island of Penghu, forty-eight people were killed in that air crash and 10 survived the crash, who were badly injured.

The Wednesday’s flight of TransAsia was en route to the Kinmen islands of Taiwan, and most of the passengers on the plane were from China.
