NEPAL PLANE CRASH: KATHMANDU VILLAGERS HAIL HERO PILOT
Villagers living near the site of the recent plane crash in Kathmandu, Nepal have thanked the pilot for avoiding residential areas and further loss of life.
The aircraft crashed on 28 September shortly after taking off from Kathmandu. All 19 passengers on board were killed and seven of the victims were British.
Mughadhan Rai, one of the people living in a village near the crash site, said none of the people on board could call for help as they had been displaced to the front of the cabin when the plane went down. Other witnesses said they did not hear or see people inside the plane asking for help.
Rai said: "I saw the airplane hovering in the air and then dived onto the ground. At the beginning there was smoke coming out from the front of the plane. Then the plane was on fire and burnt out very fast just like a piece of burning paper."
