Little did the 72 passengers traveling on Yeti Airlines know that this would be the last moment of their lives. On the morning of January 15, the aircraft took off for Pokhara airport, carrying 68 passengers and 4 crew members, ie a total of 72 people.
The plane was ready for landing, but the plane crashed just 10 seconds before landing. The plane went straight into the dangerous valley of the Yeti river and fell like a loud bomb blast. So far 68 bodies have been retrieved from the accident site and the search is on for the remaining 4 bodies. There were also five Indians on this plane. The Pokhara airport where this aircraft was about to land had been prepared by China.
plane crash in Nepal
You would be surprised to know, but on average, one plane crash occurs in Nepal in a year. Since 2010, this country has seen around 11 fatal plane crashes. The last plane crash happened on May 29 last year when a Tara Air plane crashed. 22 passengers aboard this plane were killed. This plane accident happened in the Mustang district of Nepal.
Why is flying in Nepal so risky?
The question is why flying in Nepal is so risky? What is the reason behind so many plane crashes? The biggest reason for plane accidents in Nepal is the high mountains there. Please tell us that the world's most dangerous airport is also located in Nepal. The runway has been prepared by cutting rocks. The length of this runway is also very limited.
In Nepal, there is a ditch on one side and a runway on the other side. This is the reason that the plane has to keep a lot of balance at the time of landing. There are narrow valleys between many high peaks, where sometimes there is a lot of difficulty in turning the planes. This is the reason why planes become victims of accidents.
What does this report say?
According to a Bloomberg report, Tenzing-Hillary Airport, in the northeastern region of Lukla, is the most dangerous airport in the world. Explain that there is only one runway here, whose slope is towards the valley. According to a 2019 security report by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal, the changing weather in Nepal is the biggest challenge for aircraft operations. Small aircraft are more prone to accidents than large aircraft.
