I've noticed a disturbing trend of plane crashes in Nepal over the years... Note to self, never fly on a plane in or out of Nepal.

Sending Prayers to the people of Nepal and the victims of that flight.

The plane didn't slip off the runway. It literally fell from the sky. There are other videos in Facebook that clearly shows the moment of impact.

I visited Katmandu once. The only runway I've seen lined with aeroplane seats from all the previous crashes. Coming in to land is quite a hairy experience.

This should not happen to anybody. But sometimes, it is out of our control. So sorry for the victims' families.

This happens often in Nepal. Travel by road to pokhara. Its not far and the route is nice.

This is the second major recent Plane crash in Nepal. The government should do something about it.
