At least 69 Passengers Dead In Tragic Plane Crash in Nepal, Rescue Operations Still on | Nepal At least 69 people died after a Nepalese passenger plane crashed on Sunday while landing at the Pokhara airport. The aircraft crashed on the bank of the Seti River between the old airport and the new airport. Yeti Airlines’ aircraft took off from Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport at 10:33 am. But reportedly, it crashed 10 to 20 seconds before landing and there was no distress call from the cockpit before the disaster. A video that purportedly shows the plane tilting mid-air moments before crashing has gone viral on social media. According to local officials, the plane caught fire as it crashed, and rescue operations are still on.
