CNN Aviation analysts Miles O’Brien and Mary Schiavo both agree that evidence suggests that the TransAsia aircraft engine failed.


(CNN) A passenger plane cut a bridge and plunged into the Taiwan River on Wednesday, killing at least 31 people, according to the official news agency on the island of CNA.

Rescuers turned the BTR by pulling down a sunken ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop aircraft shortly after it took off from the Taiwanese capital Taipei.

Forty-eight people were on board the TransAsia Airways GE235 flight when they fled out of control when it fled to Kinmen, off the coast of Xiamen province in China.

Toll: 31 dead, 15 injured and 12 missing, officials said. The search and rescue efforts continue. Two other people traveling in a car on the bridge cut off the wings of the plane were also injured.

The pilot of the plane and the two co-pilots were among those confirmed dead, authorities said.

The crew then recovered the plane’s “black boxes,” the official CNA news agency said. Flight data recorder and voice data recorder were found in the tail of the plane, Ang Xingzhong, executive director of the Taiwan Aviation Safety Council, told the news agency.
