CRI听力:32 Bodies in Taiwan Plane Crash Confirmed, Probe Underway

Authorities in Taiwan say they've managed to identify 32 of the 48 people killed in Wednesday's plane crash off the west coast of the island.

Among the ten survivors, one has since been release, suffering only minor injuries.

The other nine remain hospitalized.

Head of Taiwan's aviation safety council Wang Hsing-chung says they're now trying to extract information from the plane's black boxes, said to have been heavily damaged, to figure out exactly what went wrong.

"We have completed different interviews in the afternoon and recorded the files on flight path and weather condition. As to recorders, in addition to black boxes, we also brought back other devices on the plane to investigate."

The twin-engine commuter plane slammed into a residential building while trying to make a second landing at the main airport on Penghu Island.

The first landing failed amid bad weather conditions brought on by Typhoon Matmo.
