Both engines of the TransAsia Airways plane that smashed into a bridge and then crashed into a river had failed, investigators say.
According to the Aviation Safety Council the engines of the ATR 71-600 lost power shortly after take-off, causing it to drop out of the sky, narrowly avoiding apartment buildings and leaving at least 35 people dead.
The incident, earlier this week, was captured on a car's dashboard camera.
Thomas Wang, director of the safety council, said: "Based on the data we have so far we can see that for a period of time both engines showed not thrust."
He added: "The right engine flamed out and triggered a warning in the cockpit. The left engine was shut down by command and the pilot tried to restart the engine but couldn't."
Some 58 people were on board the plane, which had taken off from Songshan airport in Taipei. Fifteen people managed to get out alive.
