At least two people have died after a Taiwanese TransAsia Airways plane clipped a bridge and crashed into a river near the capital, Taipei.
More than 50 people were onboard the domestic flight, and a number of people were reportedly injured.
Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA) broadcast footage of the plane almost submerged in the Keelung river.
Rescue teams are alongside the plane amid reports there are people still trapped inside.
The ATR-72 had just taken off from Taipei Songshan Airport and was headed to the outlying Kinmen islands, just off the coast of south-east China, CNA said.
