The emergency landing occurred on Makung, one of Taiwan's offshore islands...
No details are available on the cause of the emergency landing yet, but it appears weather was involved...

On the positive side, at least it wasn't Malaysian Airlines but it does make us wonder as a Taiwanese flight crashes over South China sea... how long until Taiwan accuses China of shooting it down?

Plane crash? Again?
It was Russia....US Agencies have said
They're everywhere!!!! CNN save me! The Russians!....They control Typhoons now too! It's a Surface to Air Typhoon shot by the Hamasans!!!!!
That's 3. Now you can go back in the air again...
Putin did it! I saw it on Youtube and read it on Twitter!
Jen Psaki.
Oh and I forgot to mention that proof was also posted on Facebook. Take that you idiotic conspiracy theorists. Just give us your money and shut up, slaves.
No, it was the other meme.... global warming
the numerology is off the charts...this must be the work of the IMF and Christine Lagarde.
Flight 222:
2+2+2 = 6, right? 6+1 = 7!!! scary!!!
2*2*2 = 8, right? 8-1 = 7!!! this is crazy shit!
And there were 7 injured!
Fucking IMF numerology can't be disputed right there.
;-)
Fucking Ukrainian Rebels, keep hitting the wrong planes. No more vodka for you, assholes.
OBAMA ALREADY HAS PROOF AND HE'S WARMING UP HIS POINTING FINGER AS WE SPEAK!!
WARM UP THE AUTOCUE!!!
Cameron is next.....
Dammit, Putin! Enough already!
Shithole Obummer will blame this one also on Putin, on false evidence?
What kind of plane is that? Is this a prop / puddle jumper, loaded to the gills?
Regardless, too many birds falling out of the sky now.
Gotta be a 777.
Given the amount of water in the air at the time of the go around it is imagainable that a flameout occured or foreign object damage, loss of power, forced landing. Sucks.
exactly, cant believe they tried to fly through that squall line, Ho Lee Fuk
Yes, they have absolute befief,er...... evidence it was the Russkies er... Russians, that did
it in conjunction with Colonel Mustard in the library.
Not sure which type of surface to air candlestick brought it down, just yet..
Lesson do not fly on an aircraft going OVER or NEAR a BRICS nation right now.
Chinese separtist terrorist rebels for certain. Or maybe it was too windy.
"We have information that Putin personally ordered this." Obama/Kerry
And that's why Europe should stop buying Russian gas and start buying American gas!
Unfortunately the only anglo/american NG we can supply in quantity is from Kerry's, Cameron's and Obama's collective assholes.
I wonder, however, if Bullshit can be a substitute, kinda like the cow patties they use in India? If so, then Europe is saved.
If at first you don't succeed try and try again. Twice for good measure. Stay off airplanes going over or near a BRICS nation.
Was it Boeing again? Remote controlled Boeing? Don't fly on Boeing, prefer European made.
ATR-72 turboprop, a twin-propeller plane. The maker is Italian-French.
That's just plane scary.
Hey all, I've started a website that offers free technical and fundamental analysis on the precious metals complex. I just posted a new analysis on the Gold/Silver Ratio which suggests immense upside for silver.

You'll not win a Oscar for spamming on Zerohedge.
Give him a break.
If he pimps it more than fives times , then we tear him apart.
Agreed, First Lord.
Down arrowers, give the guy a break. Some great sites start out small. ZH started out small.
Not by spamming.
Good for you for posting relevant news from around the web. That's so unusual.
Go for it, Oscar, will check out.

Ocean travel is looking much more attractive lately.
RMS Lusitania sound familiar?
Riding a bicycle is looking much more attractive lately. I just need to be careful when I ride near the airport... I guess that's one reason to wear a helmet.
I'm guessing the "Miracle on the Hudson" doesn't scale.
Well, there is a raging storm - 2 sucessive typhoons, hitting that part of the world right now...
The death toll is already over 151 across the region from the first typhoon that went through the region, now it'll probably be over 200 or 300 before the 2nd typhoon is out.
Guess with what's going on in Ukraine and Gaza a little thing like natural storms also killing people in Asia just don't make the headlines anymore, unless it reasonates with plane crashes.
Human life is cheap most everywhere in the world, before politics kicks in.
It always was.
Just the way it is.
Until politics kicks in. Then it becomes a tragedy that 'something has to be done.'
Two more coming are in next week as well but then it is typhoon season.
GODDAMNED RUSSIAN SEPARATISSISISSISS!!!!!!!!!
Pilots don't "request" a go-around. They simply perform a go-around and tell ATC afterwards! Aviate, navigate, communicate!
That's pretty funny.
Aircraft: "Approach, TransAsia XYZ, request go-around"
ATC: "Nein! - No go-around for you!"
When 51 people die, it is not a "forced landing", its a crash!
Emergency landing?...Crash?...How about crash landing, which even an untrained person can accomplish.
Who (Hu) was on board this one?
LOL! The Chinaman is NOT the issue!
No, Hu's on first (class).
Damn Ukraine rebels!
...this just in, the bare said it was the rooskies or bush but maybe footage will show christie
.
Wing walking?
You misspelled "jooz".
No no no no - between the lines. Read between the lines.
The Taiwanese Central bank has 400 tonnes of gold stored in Taipei...
Not stored in the BoE or Fed or anywhere else....
Stored in Taipei
The Taiwan Central bank is called the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan)
"The Taiwanese Central bank has 400 tonnes of gold stored in Taipei..."
It is ripe for LIBERATION and DEMOCRATISATION= Translation =>Liberation FROM the Taiwanwse and Shared Equally amongst the Banksters.
Sweet!! If we could only get a 2 or 3 more of these to help get the DOW to ATH!!

We just had a typhoon pass over the island (Taiwan) Tuesday afternoon~Wednesday afternoon...why were they flying in typhoon weather anyway?
(And, BTW, why was MH17 flying in a war zone?)
I hate this war zone argument. Planes have been flying over war zones in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia for years already. So, your argument of war zone pass is really illogical. I hate to say it. Otherwise, have a nice day :}
In the beginning
putin stole my dead baby girl and ate her beating heart.
the end.

Damn, that fucking Bath House Barry is workin' OT!
Buk no stop here.
This stuff keeps up and we (and the media) are going to forget all about those little kids crossing the border.
Wait - what? What kids, whose border? WTF is going on here? Jeebus. Waiter - another - make it a double.
Keep your eyes on my right hand, not the left.
abracadabra
"TVBS"
Finally, truth in advertising.
Though, there is SeeBS, isn't there?
State Dept. Television is called
All BS
"US Spy satellites show a BUK launcher on an atoll near Penghu, says Kerry"
Quick can we get the US Government to post a satellite photo with a green line?
Poor bastards shouldn't have been up there in the first place. Greedy fucking airlines.
If the Russians could only crash markets like they can crash planes!
Another long range bottle rocket was launched from Gaza.
/sarc
The Washington Neocons are already busy drawing up new colorful cartoons to link evil Putin and his Chinese henchmen to the crash in Taiwan that just happened, since their last effort with MH17 didn't go so well.... They will give Lurch Kerry and Obumbler their talking points later today.
In the meantime, old Johnny "get-your-gun" McCain and his effeminate man crush Lindsey Graham are just getting the news about the downing of the Taiwan crash as they get out of their morning bubble bath with each other. McCain reportedly has a stiffy again at the thought of nailing a new tragedy on evil Putin so WW3 can get going. It's a good thing Lindsey is there to service old McCain before his stiffy droops to half mast when he figures out that Taiwan is not a city in Ukraine.
What is the way governments control people? Answer is to scare them to death! So we have Ukraine Airline disaster, Crash on Bodies flown back from Ukraine to Netherlands, and now we have an Asian crash all in the matter of a few weeks. Of course, Delta was grounded from flying into Israel. This is all orchestrated and planned no question in my mind!
Pilots make errors when distracted by their financial portfolios...
"Big screen TV isn't about a bigger picture. It's about upping the dosage."
Stop it already with this plane crash shit. I have to be flying soon.
Last Rites - there's an app for that.
When in doubt, go about!
I believe those islands belong to China.
Still waiting for the "mysterious disappearance" of Air Force One.
