NEWSUPDATE:Passenger plane crashes into river in Taiwan

At least 19 people are feared dead and 24 still unaccounted for after a TransAsia Airways plane clipped a bridge and crashed into a river in Taiwan's capital on Wednesday.
The twin-engine propeller plane carrying 58 people crashed shortly after takeoff from Taipei Airport, en route to Kinmen Island, with 53 passengers and five crew, the state-run Central News Agency reported.
Footage taken by a motorist appears to show the wing of the stricken plane clipping a taxi and slamming through the wall of a motorway before crashing into the Keelung River in Taipei.
"I've never seen anything like this," a volunteer rescuer surnamed Chen said of the most recent in a series of disasters to hit Asian carriers in the past 12 months.
Television footage showed survivors wearing life jackets wading and swimming clear of wreckage. Others, including a young child, were taken to shore in inflatable boats.
Emergency rescue officials crowded around the partially submerged fuselage of flight GE235, lying on its side in the river, trying to help those on board.
Taiwan's civil aviation regulator raised the death toll to 19, with 15 injured and 24 missing.
The plane lost radio contact shortly after it took off at 10.52am, according to the Civil Aeronautics Administration.
Aviation authority director Lin Chih-ming said the 53 passengers included 31 Chinese tourists.
Twenty-eight of the 58 people aboard have reportedly been rescued from wreckage.
