At least 67 people were confirmed dead and hope was fading for any survivors after a plane with 72 on board crashed in Nepal on Sunday, the Himalayan country’s deadliest aviation disaster in three decades.
“Thirty-one [bodies] have been taken to hospitals,” said police official AK Chhetri, adding that 36 other bodies were still in the 300-metre gorge the aircraft plunged into at the site in Pokhara in central Nepal.
