System malfunctioning, human error likely caused Nepal plane crash: Experts
Mishandling, malfunctioning of aircraft system or pilot fatigue could be among the factors that caused the deadly plane crash in Nepal that killed at least 68 people on Sunday, according to pilots and an aircraft accident investigation expert.
They also said the exact reasons that led to the accident will be known only after a detailed investigation.
Nepal, which has witnessed quite a few aircraft accidents in recent years, on Sunday witnessed the crash of an ATR-72 aircraft, operated by Yeti Airlines, that was flying from Kathmandu to Pokhara.
Going by the video clips on social media purportedly showing the plane’s trajectory seconds before it crashed, it was a clear sky and the weather was not bad.
