Sad to say, plane crashes, like this certain Taiwan plane crash 2015, have been occupying news lately. One survivor named Huang Jin-sun admitted he suspected plane trouble before the flight starts. "There was some sound next to me. It did not feel right shortly after takeoff. The engine did not feel right," Jin-sun said.
Huang Jin-sun was just one of the 15 survivors of the Taiwan Plane Crash 2015. The TransAsia Airways plane crash happened last February 4. Fifty-eight people were carried on the said plane. Just a few minutes after take-off, the plane crashed which resulted to at least 32 deaths and 11 missing casualties.
Few minutes before the plane totally dropped, one of the pilots mouthed "Mayday, mayday, engine flameout" over the control tower. An engine flameout disabled the propeller since flames were extinguished in the engine's combustion chambers. It led to shutting down of the engine.
The responsible airline and the Taiwan Civil Aeronautical Administration have dismissed requests on speculation on the primary root cause of the Taiwan plane crash 2015. However, the airline commented that the plane used, the ATR 72-600 plane, is just less than a year old, and functioned with one replaced engine.
The Taiwan plane crash 2015 was documented through some photos and video images of the plane's final moments. The videos show that the plane's wings turn vertically, allowing the wings to clip to a highway bridge before shooting in Taipei's Keelung River.
Many relatives of the victims of Taiwan plane crash 2015 performed mourning rituals on the crash site last Thursday. They are accompanied by Buddhist monks, and did bows in front of the river while holding cloth with bamboo pieces. This ritual is said to guide the spirits of the dead.
Survivors of the Taiwan plane crash 2015 are hoping for their recovery, and wishing that the authorities will find the missing casualties.
