Delivered new 14th Dec 1990 and on the 16th Feb 1998 came in too high at Taipei so the crew decided to make a go-around but the aircraft stalled. Control couldn't be regained as the aircraft struck the ground 200ft left of the runway, hit a utility pole and a highway median. It then skidded into several houses, surrounded by fish farms, rice paddies, factories and warehouses, and exploded.
