ATR-72 stalls out after takeoff and goes fora swim

15 confirmed dead with many more stuck in the submerged fuselage.

Video is dashcam footage from a car that caught most of the descent on tape.

This is the second ATR-72 to have crashed in Taiwan in a fairly short time span

Please enable embed btw

Wow, I wonder what happened to cause the pilots to lose control like that. Was it an engine failure or is it still unknown?

Embedding added. Not sure how I missed that one.

Preliminary analysis of flight recorder data seems to suggest flameout of the #2 engine and then pilot error lead to the #1 engine being shut down.

Slants can't tell left from right apparently

It seems to happen too often that pilots shut down the wrong engine. There was a local flight that crashed because of that a few years ago. As long as the one engine is still functioning and you have altitude you should be able to carefully look at the instruments and double check to make sure that you don't make a bad situation worse. I suppose in the heat of the moment it is hard to take it slow and that leads to these mistakes.
