A plane out of thin air

Chaos and death was the scene as a passenger plane with dozens of people on board plunged into a river in Taiwan’s capital of Taipei on Wednesday..

The latest news is that at least 23 are dead, 20 others are missing, and 15 are injured.. the numbers game only tells one part of this. The human impact is tragic—the thoughts of being on this airplane during its final moments are awful to conjure..

And thanks to dashcam video, we can also now see the final moments of the TransAsia flight as it slammed down and took part of the bridge with it. You can see the video here..

During the scene, you can hear the shriek as people in the car witness the airplane soaring into the view and crashing down to the ground in front of them..

For me, no matter how many times I see the first few seconds of this video, I get the chills deep down..

One comment I saw on a news article concerning this should be repeated here: No matter how good or advanced technology is, an airplane is nothing more than a metal tube filled with human lives. And when these types of accidents occur, they look mighty scary to the human eye..
