  1. This tragic air crash in Nepal must ring alarm bells for tourists taking domestic flights over there!!
    … Nepal has the worst aviation record on the planet, 21 air accidents since 2000 to be clear, Nepalese airlines are banned from flying to Europe completely, due to extremely poor maintenance of aircrafts.
    ….Greedy Sanatani 🤮🤮
    RIP all victims of negligence.

  3. My theory is that the captain allowed the female co pilot to land the plane, because after this flight she was going to complete her required flight hours to become a captain.

  4. What can be done? This is one of the most challenging areas to fly, in the world – unpredictable weather, extremely difficult to approach and egress runways. There is a legacy of related challenges like this that will only continue to plague this region more as time moves forward.

  5. As a former NTSB officer, I can make it clear that the cause of this tragedy was spark in the electrical circuit which the ignition led its path to the oxygen cylinders causing it to burst and produce flames. My true condolences to ppl families

  9. Worst Domestic Air Crash
    The Himalayan Times
    Published Date: 2023- Jan-18
    This is with reference to the news about Pokhara bound Yeti Airlines crashed at Gharipatan, Pokhara on Sunday morning. The devastating accident claimed 72 lives ,including 4 crew members. People near the crash site rushed to the Seti River where the plane had crashed. They started taking photos and selfies as the victims were screaming for rescue inside the burning aircraft. However, nobody heard their voice. People were seen busy to make videos to post on distinct social networking sites. It is shameful. Everything seems to have changed. Nobody shows sympathy to others. The sentiment of humanity is no longer with us. The attendants had stood on the both sides of the Seti River making videos and unnecessary throng as Nepal Army and APF personnel were retriving dead bodies. All of us have been like a robot. It seems like that people do not have human soul, our emotions and social attachments have been lost from us. It is sad to hear that ambulances and essential vehicles had to halt for hours due to never-ending queue of motorcycles. The government has formed a panel consisting of 5 people to investigate over the crash. It is heard that the probe committee will find out the exact reason of accident. Unfortunately, the probe committe will terminate the real information to support the private aircraft companies to resume further flights. The number of air crashes has increased in Nepal killing innocent commuters. But the government never dares to cease the flights made by the worn-out aircrafts in Nepal. Only six months ago, an aircraft belonged to Tara Airlines en route to Jomsom from Pokhara met an accident, a probe committee had also been formed to investigate into the incident. But the panel concluded that the plane had met an accident owing to poor visibility. Most of the incidents take place due to poor infrastructures. After 45 days, people will have completely forgotten the incident, it would be easy to expunge the real information.
