There were 72 people on board the plane when it crashed into a gorge while landing at a newly opened airport in Pokhara, marking Nepal's deadliest aviation accident in three decades.The Department of Foreign Affair and Trade has been unable to confirm whether Love is one of the 68 victims.

A witness to the crash said he saw the aircraft spinning violently in the air after it began to attempt a landing, watching from the terrace of his house."The plane caught fire after the crash. There was smoke everywhere," Gurung said.Footage taken by a person on the ground shows the aircraft violently rolling shortly before it crashed.

If there was no Australians on board would not give a toss about it.

I've been on a plane that had to make an emergency landing in Nepal. Given the conditions they fly in, unfortunately I can't say this tragic accident surprises me

That video of inside looks like a mock up video,inside yeti airlines are fitted out different with clothes over seats in the 72s . In the full length video on YouTube the flames go out then come back again like a computer program gone wrong ,I bet news stations bought it.
