In 2015, TransAsia Flight 235’s engines suffered a type of failure known as a flameout. Ordinarily this would not lead to a crash, as modern airplanes as designed to run on one engine if necessary. Unfortunately, the pilot mistook the functioning engine for the malfunctioning one and shut it off. This left the plane powerless as the crew desperately scrambled to restart the engine and avoid the heavily populated cityscape below. One of the wings clipped a bridge and the plane crashed into a nearby river. Das cam footage reveals just how close it came to wiping out the bridge out entirely. Obviously, this is an unintentional accident , which was due to the slip.
