Nepal Plane Crash has become a nightmare on Makar Sankranthi festival day. A plane operated by Yeti Airlines took off from Kathmandu, Nepal capital city and crashed at Pokhara. The plane crashed between old and new airports in the city and experts suggest a technical failure in engine might have caused the crash while landing. The aircrafts normally get inspected before they take-off or allowed to travel and only last minute or sudden engine failure could result in such a crash. Nepal Government has announced that they will investigate thoroughly into the matter post rescue operations.
