Nepal is observing the day of national mourning after the deadliest plane crash in 30 years that killed 68 people with 4 still missing.
The ATR 72 aircraft operated by Yeti Airlines crashed in the tourist city of Pokhara minutes before landing on Sunday in clear weather carrying 72 people on board.
Of 72 people on board, 57 were from Nepal, 5 were from India, 4 were from Russia, 2 were from South Korea, and one person each was from Argentina, France, Ireland, and Australia.
68 bodies out of 72 have been recovered as rescuers resume operations searching for 4 people who are still missing.
Recovered bodies will be handed over to their families after identification and examination according to the authorities.
Both the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the flight were recovered in good shape on Monday and will help investigators to determine what caused the aircraft to crash after analysis based on the recommendation of the manufacturer.
