ORIGINAL: As reported by BBC News, dozens of bodies have been recovered after a Yeti Airlines flight crashed near an airport in central Nepal.
Officials have reported that a total of 72 people were on board the twin-engine ATR 72 at the time of the crash - 68 passengers, including children, and four crew members. Fifteen of those on board are said to be foreign nationals.
It has been revealed that 53 of the passengers on board were Nepalese, five were Indian, four were Russian, two were Korean, and there were also passengers from Australia, Argentina, France, and Ireland, among others.
BBC News reports that officials are expecting to pull more bodies from the site.
The flight from Kathmandu was scheduled to arrive at the tourist town of Pokhara.
Footage appearing to show the flight can be seen below (Warning - Some people will find the video upsetting):The plane reportedly caught fire upon crashing in the gorge of the Seti River - roughly 1.5km from the airport - and hundreds of Nepalese soldiers have been dispatched to the crash site.
Footage showing the plane's final moments in the air was shared by journalist Wajahat Kazmi on Twitter, who captioned the video: "Horrifying last moments of an ATR plane crash from Nepal in Pokhara that was bound for Kathmandu."
Kazmi added that everybody onboard had died, but that has yet to be confirmed by authorities.
The footage shows an aircraft flying low over a built-up area, before spinning sharply. The camera pans to the ground, but a loud crash can be heard shortly after.
A local resident has told the BBC: "The pilot tried his best to not hit civilization or any home [...] There was a small space right beside the Seti River and the flight hit the ground in that small space."
As the situation unfolds, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has reportedly called an emergency meeting of his cabinet to oversee and organize rescue operations.
The Daily Mail reports that the crash is the deadliest aviation tragedy in the country for five years.
Our thoughts go out to everybody impacted by this tragedy.
