At least 25 people have died in Asia’s latest air catastrophe after a TransAsia plane carrying 58 people crashed into a river in Taiwan just minutes after takeoff.

TransAsia Flight GE235, an ATR 72-600 turboprop, took off from Taipei, the capital, at around 10.53am and was on its way to the island of Kinmen when the incident happened.
