Gjennom årene har det vært mange havarier i Nepal med tap av liv. Som du ser av bildet var det fint vær, men intet sies om vindforholdene, men ut fra bilder ser det ut som om det var rolige forhold. Filmsnutt tyder på stall. Det har aldri vært trygt å fly i Nepal unntatt da Widerøe fløy der..... Sjekk innlegg her på bloggen 7. juni 2022.

IMAGE SOURCE,

A plane with 72 people on board has crashed near an airport in central Nepal and 40 bodies have been recovered, officials say.

The Yeti Airlines flight from Kathmandu to the tourist town of Pokhara crashed on landing, catching fire.

Video posted on social media shows an aircraft flying low over a populated area before spinning sharply.

There were 68 passengers on board, including at least 15 foreign nationals, and four crew members.

Some 200 Nepalese soldiers are involved in the rescue at the crash site in the gorge of the Seti River, just one and a half kilometres from the airport.

Video of the crash site show thick billowing black smoke and burning debris.

"We expect to recover more bodies," an army spokesman told Reuters, saying the plane "has broken into pieces".

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal called an emergency meeting of his cabinet and urged state agencies to work on rescue operations.

Of the passengers, 53 are said to be Nepalese. There were five Indian, four Russians and two Koreans on the plane. There was also one passenger each from Ireland, Australia, Argentina and France among others.
