First, you see a plane careening on its side, against a deep blue sky. Then it disappears behind buildings. And then you hear the crash.
This footage — of the moment an airliner with 72 people aboard crashed Sunday in central Nepal – appears to have been recorded by a bystander watering plants on their balcony. It was tweeted by regional media and aviation sources.
More video recorded moments later shows a smoking crater at the crash site. A photo shows a huge chunk of the fuselage – with the plane’s ID number clearly visible – dangling on the edge.
Dozens of bodies have been recovered. There’s no word on any survivors.
It appears to be Nepal’s deadliest plane crash in at least five years.
This was a domestic flight by a Nepali carrier, Yeti Airlines.
