Six killed in Nepal chopper crash 13 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseA helicopter crashed into a hillside in central Nepal on Saturday, killing six on board including a Japanese tourist, officials said. But the impoverished country has a poor air safety record due to poorly trained staff and lacklustre maintenance. In 2016, seven people were killed in a helicopter crash 22 kilometers (14 miles) north of the capital. The European Union banned all Nepalese airlines following international alarm over the country’s air safety record.
