Taipei, July 23 (IBNS): At least 51 people are feared dead as a plane crashed in Penghu in Taiwan due to a failed emergency landing on Wednesday, reports said.

TransAsia Airways Flight 222, that crashed with 54 passengers and four flight crew members, took off at 5:43 p.m. from Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan.

"Early reports from authorities in Penghu indicated as many as 51 people on board had died," Taiwan's Central News Agency reported.

"Flight GE 222 requested a go-around when it tried to land at Magong airport at 7:06 p.m. in inclement weather, but 'lost contact' with the tower. The airport lost track of the flight during its go-around when it was about 300 feet above the ground," CNA quoting director-general of the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) Jean Shen reported.
