in Taipei

Airport in downtown Taipei Kinmen Islands
Speaking at a news conference, TransAsia
director Peter Chen touched on one of the most bewildering aspects of this crash,
namely how new the ATR 72 Propjet is. “Actually this aircraft in the accident
was the newest model. It hadn’t been used for even a year,” he said.
Stranger still, this is the second such
plane to crash in a year. The other was also operated by TransAsia. It crashed
in July, killing 48.

Air crashes had kept happening in 2014. Before the end of the Chinese New Year, it is sad to hear that there was a tragedy happen in Taiwan again. Administration has confirmed 23 dead, 15 rescued with injuries and 20 still missing. In this accident, thanks to the pilots effort, who had tried his best to cut down on the damage, the airplane had avoided to crash on the place where are crowded with many people or full of important technology factories places. Hoping that in the next year, there would be no air crash happen again and the year could be passed by in peaceful.
回覆刪除I am afraid of hearing the news that there are people who die from air crashes. There are too many people died in 2014 because of the air crushes. Moreover, this crush happened before the Chinese New Year. It made it become more melancholy in the end of the year and the beginning of the new year. We also have to review our air safe and whether the airport is located on the right place or we couldn't happen miracle. I hope there won' t be any air crushes happen in 2015 and hope the world can be much better.
