The Nepal Army on Monday (Jan 16) said that they have not rescued anyone alive from the site of the plane crash that happened on Sunday (Jan 15) in the central resort city of Pokhara. “We haven’t rescued anyone alive from the crash site,” said Nepal Army Spokesperson Krishna Prasad Bhandari.

A Yeti Airlines passenger plane flying from Kathmandu to the hill station Pokhara crashed just before landing into a gorge near the runway, killing all 72 people on board, possibly including five Indians. A cellphone recovered from the wreckage of a Yeti Airlines flight apparently captured the final, very disturbing moments of the flight.

The twin-engine ATR 72 aircraft from Kathmandu – with 72 people on board – crashed shortly before landing into a gorge near the runway in Pokhara, a major tourist destination in the Himalayan nation. Presumably killing all 72 people, including five Indians.
