'Wow, pulled back wrong throttle': Last words of doomed pilot of TransAsia plane as it went down in crash that killed 43 people
2015-07-03
  • [DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] The TransAsia flight crashed upside down into a river in Taipei in February
  • There were 58 people on board the plane, which clipped a bridge and taxi
  • Report reveals crew had shut off working engine after the other lost power
  • The plane crash claimed the lives of 43 people - only 15 people survived
Back in the Lower Paleolithic I heard tell of a Chinese pilot who landed upside down in a fog.

#1  Happened to one of my instructors during an FAA checkride ("similated" engine failure induce by the FAA Inspector.). He, of course, "busted" the ride, and it happens more than you might think. No little light on the throttle to ID the "bad" engine, and the gauges can be misleading, esp. at lower power settings.
