Didn’t the Taiwanese already release that the pilots had an engine malfunction and then shut down the good engine?

I think they struggled to clear the buildings. Google has street view for the crash site, and it shows there were power lines right in front of them that crossed the river. It’s a very densely populated area with nowhere to land.

I was taught to always fly the airplane in an emergency to dead stop. no matter the circumstances.

That lesson has saved my life once along with 5 passangers.

The Aircraft has no stick. It has a YOKE, so the yoke must be on them?

A book by a P-38 pilot talked about losing an engine. He said the remaining engine would carry you to the scene of the crash.
