Video shows moments before Nepal plane crash; at least 68 killed

Nepal began a national day of mourning Monday, a day after a plane crashed while attempting to land at a newly opened airport, killing at least 68 of the 72 people aboard.

The fear and emotions those people must've felt. Ugh my heartbreaks. So incredibly sad.

😩😭😭😢God got mercy of us, i feel so sad to hear that.

Why did the person taking the video lower the camera just as the plane was going down?

[jemoli]

The person with the camera: hey plane is about to crash. Lets film the floor instead...

[VerageJoe]

This is so heartbreaking that I don't even know how to put it into words... may they rest in peace 🙏

[mattlincoln]

If you go on reditt someone was live streaming inside the plane when it crashes so sad. Can't believe the phone survived wreck keeps filming even in flames.

[wonskrad]

that is why always bring your own personal parachute when you travel via plane

Sincere condolences to the families of Yeti Airlines Flight 691

Very high angle-of-attack, meaning very low airspeed. (Probably pilot induced) left bank, with stall and spin close to ground. Engine noise can be heard, plane likely had power. First impression, pilot was simply too slow on approach.

[rajmvpk]

Looks like the plane was stalling due to lower speed and dropped altitude suddenly.

Poor souls. Absolutely horrendous. Always be right w/ God before you get on a plane folks...your whole life be in the hands of the pilots & at the mercy of the weather conditions. Sad how the pilot had already lost her husband from a plane crash in a similar way nearly 2 decades ago.

[abundantharmony]

The pilot seems to have aimed for that hole.

Pardon me for this inside baseball analogy, but this is a point i have made before. Most times ATC lines up aircraft to the airport with gentle turns and standard rate turn rotation. But pilots need to be trained in doing circling approaches to airports, or to alternate runways on the same field. The two KILLERS are normally Steep banking to acquire desired track and / or Loss of viable airspeed up to stall conditions for the aircraft configuration. I keep hearing talk about eliminating circling approaches, but your life may depend on it especially in some smaller foreign airports.

May not have worked in this situation, but it's 2023. No excuse for planes still not having emergency parachute systems to bring the cabin down safely.

[bestillpatience]

Sad and yet Weird to say but if I was to die like that knowing just seconds before death, I'd be glad there's many others going along with me and experiencing the same terror! 🙊🤷🏿‍♂️ ...RIP

[AncientScottishWisdom]

So weird that Nepal spells Plane when mixed up

[mattszarowicz]

Well since they don't want to be up to code or regulations on airplane. That's what your going to get in the end

[musketman]

Looks like they had an engine out and V.m.c'd into the ground

[UJC]

Never fly on an Asian air line!! The pilots can’t open their eyes enough to see properly

[tivettesmith]

My condolences to the family I think they should ban airplane ✈️🛫✈️✈️🛫 I'm terrified of heights and flying in any aircraft yeah it gets u there quick and the scenery is everything but it's a no for me
