True, but the point remains the same. There should be clear indications as to which was struggling if indeed it turns out to be a single engine failure.

It seems like this should be easy, but to most pilots in the world this emergency happens less than once in their entire flying career. It's not easy. It's even less easy in an area of the world which probably has lax training standards than more established airspace systems.
 
A report by Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council has concluded the pilot error was to blame for the crash. BBC

Edit: Wrong thread, I got the two TransAsia Airways crashes mixed up. :banghead:

Not something an airline ever wants a person to write!

Speaking of this incident did we ever get an answer to what happened?

The final report is yet to be published but the interim report suggests engine flameout followed by the pilot mistakenly de-throttling the wrong engine. Independent. Wiki.

This is the bridge crash ATR right?

Yup, according to OP.

Slight correction: reading the links I posted I see that actually the pilot reported a flame-out but he may have inadvertently idled the first engine too.
