A woman escaped from the fiery wreckage of the TransAsia Airways plane by clambering through a hole in the fuselage - and then phoned her father to come and pick her up.
Hung Yu-ting was one of only 10 survivors when the aircraft crashed into houses near a runway on Taiwan's Penghu islands on Wednesday.
"She called me on the phone to say the plane had crashed and exploded but that she had already crawled out and I should come right away to get her," said Hung Yu-ting's father, who lives a few hundred metres from the crash site.
"When I was halfway there the fire was still really big, but it was smaller when I arrived on the scene," Mr Hung told reporters.
The plane ploughed into houses while trying to land in bad weather "There were two other injured outside and the first ambulance had already taken away three, including my daughter."
Hung Chang-ming helped rescuers put out the fire and dragged more people from the wrecked plane before later being reunited with his 34-year-old daughter.
She suffered burns to her arms, leg and back during her escape and is recovering in hospital.
Forty-eight people were killed when the twin propeller ATR-72, which had taken off from Taipei, crashed while trying to land in stormy conditions and low visibility.
Forty-eight people died in the incident on Taiwan's Penghu islands The effects of a typhoon had cancelled around 200 flights earlier in the day, but aviation officials insisted conditions in the area were acceptable to fly.
Investigators are set to focus on a four-minute timeframe when visibility around Magong airport is said to have reduced by half.
Several children were among the dead, which included a family of six and a family of four.
Buddhist monks conduct a ritual at the crash site TransAsia chairman Vincent Lin appeared at the funeral hall on Friday and said the crash was an "unpredictable tragedy".
He apologised, kneeled and bowed to the mother of one victim, who screamed back: "Give me back my son, he is only 27 years old.
"He is still young, but now he is lying there at the morgue. I want my son back."
