TransAsia 235 crash

On Feb. 4, TransAsia Airways flight GE235, heading from Taipei to the Taiwanese island of Kinmen (Quemoy), crashed into the Keelung River in northern Taiwan after clipping a highway bridge. Of the 58 people on board, 43 were killed. Investigators say the pilot reported a flameout in the right engine before shutting down the left engine and attempting to restart both.

 In July 2014, a TransAsia flight crashed in Taiwan’s Penghu archipelago during bad weather, killing 48 of the 58 people on board.

Taiwanese airline regulators have ordered safety tests for all TranAsia pilots, suspending 10 of them when they failed oral emergency tests.
