January 16, 20232 yr the video linked in the post shows the plane level, and less than 5 seconds later, completely inverted and crashing. the article indicates that whoever filmed thought something was wrong because it was moving erraticly and then nosedived. yikes most likely 72 perished. since they dont expect survivors and 72 were on the plane.
January 16, 20232 yr That looks intentional or like someone fell asleep at the joystick. Very tragic regardless of the cause.

January 16, 20232 yr Theres a video on twitter of someone livestreaming the flight onboard on Facebook. Got shaky towards the end and you couldn’tsee much. i flew yeti to lukla airport some years ago. Landing approach was wild cause you could see some crashed planes (?) abandoned on the side of the runway. too difficult to remove probably

If true, that might have been the worst cinematographer ever. My special needs patients could film better than that.

Left engine loses power, left wing drops, right engine rolls the right wing over and plows the plane into the ground. Avoidable but only if the pilot reacts instantly and correctly.

Lost the left engine and got too slow. Vmc’d it in. All that thrust on the right side has to be offset with rudder. Get too slow and you lose rudder authority, the good engine kills you.

January 16, 20232 yr Vid not that graphic, but still tragic unfortunately, we know from prior crashes that one from this latitude doesnt kill everyone on impact alone. I saw this video last night..does the guy sitting in front suddenly switch hair dos or something? Because it’s 2 different people each time he faces the camera in front of him

January 16, 20232 yr Got to say, impressive that the phone kept recording through all that. That plane didn't sound right before the crash. But maybe the audio was just distorted.
January 16, 20232 yr In the early 2000's I used to fly into Nepal quite a bit. Always scared the shit out of me.

January 18, 20232 yr I was thinking so you don't cause it but not documenting it is another good and actually valid reason. If cell phones had any impact on airplanes you’d think they’d leave it up to people to turn them off ? No they would take them and lock them all away .

February 16, 20232 yr Don’t know if this works as an attachment from my phone but the prelim is out. Seems like things went a little south during the landing sequence. I don’t have any ATR time but it seems like feathering the props when they called for flaps 30 is a bad thing. 343.pdf Edited February 16, 20232 yr by HiggyBaby

February 17, 20232 yr https://www.planeandpilotmag.com/news/2023/01/17/tragic-twist-in-nepal-crash-that-defies-easy-explanation/ the white knob is flaps (what was called). The black knobs to left of it are prop (what was actually pulled)
