Nepal crash: Airport had no instrument landing systemThe newly opened airport in Nepal where a Yeti Airlines plane was attempting to land when it crashed over the weekend, killing all 72 on board, did not have a functioning instrument landing system that guides planes to the runway, an official said Thursday. Aviation safety experts said it reflects the Himalayan country's poor air safety record, although the cause of the accident has not been determined. In a mountainous area? 🙏 There’s a Facebook post showing what looks like the right engine on fire before crashing into the gorge and another video of a live feed of the crash from a passenger, so sad. They don't know the cause of the crash? Video shows the engine of the airplane on fire. Now, if they don't know what caused the fire, that is another thing, but we know what caused the crash.
