Nepal probes air tragedy that killed trekkers

September 29, 2012 21:04

The Black Box of an ill-fated Nepalese plane that crashed, killing all 19 people on board, was recovered today. Officials cited a bird hit and an error by a "panic-stricken" pilot as possible causes of the tragedy.

Police handed over the Black Box data recorder of the Dornier aircraft that crashed near the Kathmandu airport to the committee investigating the accident.

The Sita Airways' plane had just taken off from Kathmandu and was headed to Lukla, the gateway to Mount Everest, when it crashed into the banks of Manahara river on Friday morning.
