ATR down in Taipei

You know if that taxi driver has a lump of coal up his rectum at that moment he would have a very nice diamond for his wife (or significant other) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Here's another dash cam video. The original video posted on page 1 was from the silver vehicle ahead in this video. Crazy how much footage there is of this already.

Well If you go on ebay and type Dash Cam, like 80% of the cams ship from china or asia. I bet there is more footage.
 
Looks like they had it under control just a few seconds before it rolled. Maybe tried to stretch the glide to miss the bridge at the end. That's a shame. Probably would have been been fewer casualties if they hit the river under control.

Why would they be trying to "stretch the glide" in a large turboprop certified for airline ops? Should be absolutely no need for that...

I'm thinking they saw the wires at the last second, yanked back, bled off the airspeed, and away they went.
 
Some of you guys have obviously never trained in a Piper Apache. If the operating engine is, for whatever the reason, not getting the job done - keep adequate airspeed to maintain control and minimize rate of descent. If their plan was to shoot for the river and late in the game they realized they were going to undershoot, they may have indeed tried to "stretch the glide".

The resulting deceleration could have resulted in a VMC roll.

This is all wild speculation of course. I'm practicing to interview for a job as CNN aviation expert.
 
Until the official accident report is released, we shouldn't speculate on the role of this vehicle in this crash or the guilt or innocence of its driver.

Not only would it be irresponsible, it would also be disrespectful to the international brotherhood of drivers.

The -150 Pig with no redundancy. Made for a fun check ride.

As for your future with CNN, you need to brush up on 1) black holes and 2) how to properly identify a small pox vac scar.
