Getting There

Pretty uneventful flight which is good.  Unfortunately I didn't sleep much, too busy trying to eat all the meals.  You've got your take-off meal, your mid-flight meal and your get ready to land meal.  Then there is a plane change in Tokyo so you pick up another meal on the way to Taiwan.  We were met by the limo for a short ride to the apartment arriving around midnight, so what did we do, why of course we ran down to the convenience store for snacks and beer.

On the ride to the apartment the driver mentioned there had been a plane crash earlier in the day.  Actually not far from where we stay.



Dash cameras are a popular thing in Taiwan and the crash was caught on a dash cam.  I expect we will be seeing a lot of this footage as time goes by.  Unfortunately there were 25 confirmed dead and 18 missing last I heard.  There were survivors including the drive and passenger of the taxi you can see in the lower photo.  The taxi was pretty much demolished by the tip of the wing as it passed by heading toward the river.
