A fatal plane crash in NepalAt least 68 people died yesterday in Nepal when a passenger plane crashed and broke into three large pieces while trying to land in the city of Pokhara, officials said. Many people in Nepal rely on such small planes to reach far-flung parts of the country. Poor visibility, rapidly changing weather conditions above mountainous terrain and aging fleets make flying in Nepal hazardous. Details: Videos on social media showed flames and black plumes of smoke at the crash site. Emergency responders struggled to reach the plane because it had gone down into a gorge.
