Plane That Crashed in Taiwan Had Trouble in Both Engines, Agency Says

HONG KONG — The plane that crashed Wednesday into a river in Taiwan’s capital, killing at least 35 people, was having problems with both of its engines before the crash, Taiwan’s Aviation Safety Council said Friday.

It was second deadly crash in less than seven months for TransAsia Airways, Taiwan’s third largest airline. An ATR-72-500 hit a building while landing in stormy weather on an outlying island in July 2014, killing 48 people.
