Nepal Air Crash Leaves At Least 68 Dead

A plane carrying 72 passengers en route to a popular tourist destination in Nepal crashed on Sunday, 68 of which are now confirmed deaths. The aircraft was attempting to land at a new airport in the town of Pokhara when the incident occurred. Following the crash, rescue workers searched the wreckage located on the edge of a cliff and in a nearby ravine. Due to thick smoke and a raging fire, rescue efforts were hindered. The cause of the accident remains unclear. A witness reported seeing the plane spin violently before falling nose-first into a gorge. The search for the four missing passengers was suspended overnight and will resume the following day. This is the deadliest airplane accident in Nepal in the last 30 years.
