Nepal plane crash kills 18

Dhikura/ Kathmandu, Feb 18 (ANI): All 18 people aboard a small plane that crashed in bad weather in Nepal were killed, an army spokesman said, after searchers battled heavy rain and harsh winds to reach the rugged site one day after the event. The crash highlights the poor safety record of Nepal, where more than a dozen airlines fly to nearly 50 airports, many in remote hills and mountains shrouded in cloud and cut off from roads. All passengers, and a crew of three were killed in the crash on Sunday at Masine hill in the village of Dhikura, 200 km (125 miles) west of the capital Kathmandu, officials said. Feb 18, 2014
