At least 19 people have been killed and 24 are missing after a Taiwanese flight carrying 58 people turned on its side in midair, clipped an elevated roadway and crashed into a river on the island’s capital of Taipei.

More than half the passengers on board TransAsia Airways Flight GE235 were from China and the death toll was expected to rise as rescue crews cleared the mostly submerged fuselage in the Keelung River. Teams in rubber rafts clustered around the wreckage.
