At least 25 killed as plane hits bridge, crashes in Taipei river - CNN.com
I would guess that maybe the cargo was not distributed correctly?

Ok, how long before Katsang starts posting about it being a KGB or a CIA plot?

The plane was losing altitude before he started banking.

That's because it was a joint project by the CIA & the KGB to take over the controls of the aircraft remotely. The evidence is everywhere to be seen.

How long before the Whine House and Pentagram start blaming it on Islamic Terrorism?

Apparently there was a 'May Day' call just before they hit the bridge saying "May Day, May Day, we have a flame out !"
Now that is very strange because you don't get 'flame outs' on propeller driven aircraft. My son thinks, as this happened just after take-off, that maybe the pilot accelerated too hard, too soon, to get clear of buildings etc. causing 'icing up' inside the engines, which would cause a shut down of power (similar to a flame out in jets). With no power he would try to bank the plane to avoid buildings and try to crash land in the river. It was either that or possibly he had a bird strike on take-off which could cause a similar effect. It was a miracle that there were survivors particularly that taxi driver on the bridge ! There was an amazing photograph in our national daily paper today.

Turboprops are kinda different from regular propeller engines. It is basically a jet-type engine, that drives a propeller. So, it would be similar to a Jet, and a flame-out would be pretty bad at low speed and altitude.

Did just see an article mentioning the people in that taxi that the plane clipped on the bridge.
They survived the day.

Imagine, only car on a bridge.
Like an Obama golf swing an airplane wing whacks your car.
What are the odds?

What are the odds of you bringing up Obama in a thread that has nothing to do with him? Any takers out there?

It would be unfair for me to put down a fin on this. For anyone else, consider all the other times I done that and figure the odds for yourselves.
To avoid confusion I'll try to open threads on that guy who 'occupies' the White House.
