Isn't there a report of one of the pilots calling a Mayday on account of an engine flame out?
Climbing after take-off on full throttle then losing one engine would have scored full points on the unbalanced yaw scorecard - if the crew did try to miss the buildings and go for the river, they would probably have had less than a dozen seconds to work out and implement such a plan.

I was just reading that 30 still trapped
I'm surprised they dont have more incidents there, mind you they've had a few, The domestic airport is inside Taipei city , like having an airport on Tottenham court road

Looks more like a stall -- low speed, left wing down and would have entered a spin with more height.

The way the plane turned was the pilot guiding it to the river I think it was going straight on to the motorway otherwise

16 dead at the moment apparently. I think if he'd have clipped that building they'd all be gone

Blimey, that is much "better" than the clip they showed on BBC Breakfast this morning.
Wonder if the pilot is in for praise for his brilliance or something not as nice.... Looks like he did well to miss those buildings.
