Video shows final moments before deadly Nepal plane crash (NBC News)

Video has emerged of the plane that crashed in Nepal over the weekend, killing at least 69 people.

In 2017, the International Civil Aviation Organization cited improvements in Nepal’s aviation sector, but the E.U. The European Union has banned airlines from Nepal from flying into the 27-nation bloc since 2013, citing weak safety standards. Five Indians, four Russians, two South Koreans, and one person each from Argentina, Ireland, Australia and France were among those aboard the flight, according to a Jaiswal, smiling as he filmed filming, panned the camera around the seemingly calm flight with no apparent sign of distress. Khatiwada, who had more than 6,400 flying hours, had previously flown this route, the spokesperson said. Authorities said Monday that they had retrieved the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the wreckage.

Varios aldeanos recordaron a los cuatro hombres como "almas amables y amantes de la diversión". En las imágenes, los alrededores del aeropuerto de Pokhara son visibles desde el avión segundos antes de que este se estrellara. Los cuatro hombres estaban entre los cinco indios a bordo. Quería orar en el templo para tener otro hijo. Había también ciudadanos de Reino Unido, Australia, Argentina y Francia. En cuestión de segundos, enormes llamaradas y humo llenan la pantalla mientras la cámara sigue grabando. Nuestras vidas se han derrumbado". Es una grabación auténtica", dijo Shah a NDTV. Amigos y familiares de Jaiswal dijeron a los periodistas que habían visto el video en su cuenta de Facebook, lo que confirma su autenticidad.

Nepal co-pilot's husband also died in plane crash 16 years previously (BBC News)

Anju Khatiwada was co-piloting the Yeti Airlines flight when it smashed into a gorge near Pokhara.

At the crash site in Pokhara, parts of the plane Anju was co-piloting lay scattered on the banks of the River Seti, strewn like battered pieces of a broken toy. Anju later remarried and had a second child as she continued to build her career. The mountain terrain and often unpredictable weather can be tricky to navigate, and are often cited as reasons. "She was a brave woman.' But others point to outdated aircraft, lax regulations and poor oversight as equally important factors. "She was a determined woman who stood for her dreams and fulfilled the dreams of her husband," family member Santosh Sharma said.

“A high thrust setting can lead to a stall,” he said. The report said such accidents happened at airports that had short strips of runway for takeoff and landing and most were due to pilot error. Professor Ron Bartsch, an aviation safety expert and founder of Australia’s Avlaw Aviation Consulting, told Sydney’s Channel 9 that he also thought the plane appears to have gone into a stall. “But normally aircraft don’t just fall out of the sky, particularly modern aircraft.” The aircraft’s nose is noticeably high before the left wing suddenly drops and the plane falls out of sight of the video, indicating a likely stall, said Amit Singh, an experienced pilot and founder of India’s Safety Matters Foundation. Pilots say Nepal can be a challenging place to fly, but conditions at the time of the crash were good, with low wind, clear skies, and temperatures well above freezing.

An anonymous pilot who regularly flies the type of aircraft involved in Sunday’s crash from India to Nepal told the AP that the ATR 72-500 can be “unforgiving” if the pilot isn’t highly skilled or prepared for the region’s conditions. [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-64287331) he was too shattered to watch the footage himself. “I was shocked,” Bohora said, according to the [Aviation Safety Network](https://aviation-safety.net/database/country/country.php?id=9N) since the early 1990s. [The New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/16/world/asia/nepal-yeti-airlines-crash.html). The plane’s flight data and cockpit voice recorders were recovered on Monday, a Yeti Airlines representative said. She was hired by Yeti Airlines in 2010, a company spokesman told [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/pilot-couple-killed-air-crashes-nepal-16-years-apart-2023-01-16/). “Sonu was showing us the mountains around on the call and was clearly excited, so were we,” Koswal said. One of them, Sonu Jaiswal, was identified as the hapless passenger who inadvertently streamed the crash on Facebook Live. Four of the Indian passengers aboard the flight were friends, traveling around Nepal together from Ghazipur, a city in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, district officials said. On Monday, Khatiwada’s body had not yet been pulled out of the gorge, but she was feared dead by authorities. Prior to Sunday’s crash, Khatiwada had racked up 6,400 hours of flight time, the spokesman said.
