Firefighting efforts are underway at the site of a tragic plane crash in Kathmandu, Nepal. On Wednesday, a Saurya Airlines aircraft crashed at Tribhuvan International Airport, resulting in the deaths of eighteen people and leaving one person hospitalized.
“The plane was scheduled to undergo maintenance for a month beginning Thursday … It is unclear why it crashed,” said Mukesh Khanal, marketing head of Saurya Airlines, according to Reuters.
