TransAsia casualty list: 32 dead, 11 missing

The list of casualties from yesterday’s TransAsia flight accident has reached 32. 11 are still missing, while 15 were rescued from within the airplane wreckage.

Three minutes after take-off, the aircraft lost most of its acquired height, had a close “shave” above buildings, hit an overpass and crashed into Taipei’s nearby river. Amongst the survivors was a small child. Information gathered from the Mayday signal hints to an engine failure.
