Flight data, voice recorders retrieved from Nepal crash site

Flight data and cockpit voice recorders have been recovered by the search team on Monday of the passenger plane that crashed in Nepal.

According to the investigators, this is the deadliest plane crash in 30 years.

At least 69 of the 72 people aboard were killed, and officials believe the three missing are also dead.

On Monday evening, relatives and friends gathered outside a local hospital, some shouting at officials to speed up the post mortems so they could hold funerals for their loved ones.

It‍‍`s still not clear what caused the crash, which took place less than a minute‍‍`s flight from the airport on a mild day with little wind.

In footage taken by a passenger out of a window as the plane came in for a landing, buildings, roads and greenery are visible below.

The video, by Sonu Jaiswal showed a violent jolt and a series of jerky images accompanied by yelling before flames fill the screen.

Nepal’s Civil Aviation Authority said the aircraft last made contact with the airport, which began operations only two weeks ago, from near Seti Gorge. A witness who recorded footage of the plane’s descent said it looked like a normal landing until the plane suddenly veered to the left.

"I saw that, and I was shocked," said Diwas Bohora. “I thought that today everything will be finished here after it crashes, I will also be dead.”
