What was the weather conditions at the time of the crash? Bad weather causes many crashes, especially on final approach.

The local fire department said that the 45 had no life signs after the twin-engine turboprop ATR 72 crashed just outside Magong airport around 7 p.m. The flight, coded GE 222, took off at 5 p.m. in Kaohsiung and was scheduled to land at Magong 35 minutes later.The reason the crash happened over an hour later was not immediately clear. (By Elizabeth Hsu)
Huh? They took off at 5 PM, and crashed an hour later around 7 PM? Or do they mean around an hour after their scheduled arrival of 5:35 PM? How could a 35 minute flight take about two hours? Did they stop for donuts? Pass through a wormhole?
