A tourist town in Nepal witnessed a deadly plane crash, when an aircraft on a 27-minute flight, while trying to land at a recently inaugurated airport, crashed into a gorge on Sunday. The accident resulted in the death of at least 68 out of the 72 passengers on board. Some reports suggest that cries for help were heard from the burning wreckage, making it the most fatal air crash in Nepal in the past 30 years.
Valerie Schmitz, the widow of an F-16 pilot killed after a failed nighttime landing, has filed a federal civil action lawsuit against defence companies, alleging that the ejection seat was a forgery.
