On February 4, 2015, residents of Taipei and people around the world watched in horror as TransAsia Flight GE235 clipped an overpass before crashing into the Keelung River. 2015 年二月四日那天，台北的居民及世界各地的人們，驚恐地看到復興航空 235 號班機在墜落基隆河前意外地撞上高架公路。
While 15 people survived the crash, 43 lost their lives, including both pilots. 雖然有十五人生還，但是卻有四十三人失去了他們的生命，包含兩位機師。
The plane was in the air for a mere three minutes before it crashed. 這架班機墜毀前僅僅在空中飛行了三分鐘。
Incredible footage was captured by two cars'dashcams just meters away from the plane. 這段驚人的影片被距離該班機僅僅不到幾公尺遠的兩台汽車行車紀錄器捕捉到。
Two minutes after takeoff, the pilots reported an engine flameout and immediately sent out a mayday signal. 起飛兩分鐘後，機師們通報引擎突然熄火並立即發出無線電求救信號。
Considering the size of the plane and the location of the impact, it is quite fortunate that the crash was not worse than it might have been. 考量到飛機的大小和撞擊影響的地點，還算幸運的是這場飛機失事原本可能會更嚴重。
The heroic efforts of the pilots kept the plane from crashing into the more heavily populated areas of the city.
機師們英勇的作為就是避免讓飛機墜毀在台北市人口較密集的地區。
