The world's luckiest taxi driver: Cabbie cheats death after Taiwan plane clipped his car before plunging into river killing 31

The taxi driver, named as Mr Zhou, scrambled from the wreckage of his car with serious injuries after his car was crushed by the plane in Taipei, Taiwan. Flight 235 with 58 people aboard - many of them travellers from China - banked sharply on its side on Wednesday shortly after takeoff from Taipei, smashing into a highway bridge and then plunging into the Keelung River below. Mr Zhou, who is said to have a heart condition, reportedly clambered from his vehicle before admitting: 'I am lucky to be alive'.
