NEPAL PLANE CRASH SAME MONTH AND ROUTE ANOTHER TRAGEDY AFTER 10 YEARS - DETAILS

Authorities say a Nepalese plane carrying 22 passengers has crashed. In this case, people are talking excitedly about an accident on the same road 10 years ago.

Flight 9 NAET, which took off from Pokhara, Nepal to Jomsom at 9.55 am yesterday, lost contact with the control room shortly after. Fear has been raised that the plane may have crashed. The airline said the plane was carrying 4 Indians, 2 Germans, 13 Nepalese and 3 crew members from that country.

Authorities say the plane may have crashed at an altitude of 14,500 feet in Sano Square Beer, Dasang, in the Mustang district. The airline said the plane was carrying Ashok Kumar Tripathi, Dhanush Tripathi, Rithika Tripathi and Vaibhav Tripathi from India.

Tragedy

Air Force spokesman Theo Chandrasekhar Lal Korn said, "A military plane with 10 soldiers rushed to the scene, 14 bodies have been found so far. The search has been intensified."

10 years ago

Authorities say a similar plane crashed on the same track in 2012, the same month. In 2012, the Dornier Do-228, owned by Agni Air, a local airline based in Nepal, flew from Pokhara to Jomsom.

The plane, which was trying to land, abandoned the plan and began flying around the airport. Then, one of the wings of the plane crashed into a hill. Fifteen of the 21 people on board were reported dead.

In this case, 10 years later, another plane crash in the same area has caused a stir around the world.
