Devastation and tragedy of routine Taiwan flight
It was supposed to be a routine 35-minute journey, but flight GE222 ended tragically - taking away 48 lives suddenly.
At the scene of the crash in Magong city in north-west Taiwan, the plane could be seen split up into pieces - the cockpit jutted up against the wall of one residence, the propeller and one of the wings near another house, and the tail at the end of the narrow lane where the aircraft crashed to earth.
Mangled beyond recognition, the parts were carefully lifted onto a flatbed truck on Thursday to be taken away for analysis.
So devastating was the crash that it also destroyed some of the homes in this normally quiet neighbourhood in the Penghu archipelago.
The TransAsia Airways plane had aborted its initial landing and then lost contact with the control tower before crashing.
