At least 67 killed in Nepal plane crash

At least 67 people were confirmed dead Sunday when a plane with 72 on board crashed in Nepal, police said, in the Himalayan country's deadliest aviation disaster in three decades.

Police official AK Chhetri said that 31 have been taken to hospitals adding that 36 other bodies were still in the 300-meter gorge the aircraft plunged into.

This was partially confirmed by the army, with a spokesman saying 29 bodies had been retrieved and that there were 33 more at the site in Pokhara in central Nepal.

One local official said that some survivors had been taken to hospital — but this was not confirmed by either the airline Yeti Airlines or others.
