Mahesh Dhakal, eyewitness and rescuer
Kalikot, February 26
The (Kasthmandap Airlines) plane was very unstable. It seemed to be wandering in the sky and shaking. In no time, it nosedived on plain land, damaging its frontal part.
We rushed to the scene and took injured people out of the plane. Paramedics provided first-aid.
Two peopole have died, it appears. But health workers have not pronounced them dead. A police team has arrived on the scene. Some of the injured are in critical condition. They need to be rescued without delay. Pity is, this place is not connected to the road. We have to walk about 1.5 hours to reach the road.
Lives can be saved by airlifting them via helicopter. It appears the pilot tried his best to make a safe landing. Losses would have mounted had the plane crashed into a hill instead of the field. Many people have survived because the plane crashed on flatland. There’s a need to rush these people to hospital without delay.
