Pilot Only Survivor Of Plane Crash Killing 18 - Nepal

Rescuers collect debris at the site of an air crash at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, July 24, 2024. Some 18 people were killed after a plane crashed and caught fire while it was taking off from Nepal's capital of Kathmandu on Wednesday. The pilot, who is currently receiving treatment in hospital, is the only survivor of the fatal accident. Nineteen people were on the Saurya Airlines test flight, including technical staff members of the airline and two crew members. Nepal's aviation industry has a poor safety record - that has been attributed to multiple factors over the years, from unpredictable weather to lax regulations.
