Dozens died in the horror crash early this morning
At least 40 people have died after a plane carrying 72 people has crash landed near Pokhara International Airport, Nepal, in the early hours of this morning. The daily Kathmandu Post newspaper reported there was 68 passengers and four crew members aboard, quoting a spokesperson for Yeti Airlines.
Images and videos shared on Twitter showed plumes of smoke billowing from the crash site. Nepal army spokesman Krishna Bhandari said: “We expect the death toll to rise. The plane was torn to pieces." But later, officials hinted that, miraculously, there may have been survivors in the crash debris. Mr Dahal also called for an emergency meeting of his cabinet. Nepal has declared a national day of mourning tomorrow for the victims of the crash.
The pilot turns the aircraft so the wing is pointing downwards as it careens dangerously close to the earth. As the footage ends, the person recording points the phone down as a massive explosion rings out.
