SURELY YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS. I AM SERIOUS AND DON'T CALL ME SHIRLEY

Using Taiwan time, it was 10:53 in the morning when TransAsia Flight 235 took off from the Songshan Airport in Taipei, Taiwan in a brand new airplane.  The airplane didn't go very far when one of the airplane engines stopped working due to a flameout.  The pilot turned off the only airplane engine that actually worked properly instead of shutting off the engine that was flaming out.  TransAsia Flight 235 started flying sideways, clipped the Huandong Viaduct and a taxi cab before crashing still in sideways mode into the Keelung River.  There were 58 people on board with five crew members and the rest passengers.  Including the Taxi Cab Driver and the Taxi Cab Customer, there were seventeen injuries.  There were 15 Survivors Without Injuries.  8 Missing somewhere in the Keelung River.  35 People dead from the airplane crash.  Taiwan Government Authorities continue to investigate the crashed airplane and the damaged taxi cab.
