At least 18 passengers were killed when a Saurya Airlines plane crashed and caught fire while taking a departure from Nepal's capital, Kathmandu. Officials claimed the plane was carrying two crew members and 17 technicians to Pokhara city to repair another aircraft.
"Only the captain was rescued alive and is receiving treatment in a hospital," a spokesman for Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport, said.
Another footage showed firefighters trying to put out the blaze and dense black smoke billowing into the sky. They also showed the plane flying just above the runway and then tilting before crashing.
Other images showed rescue workers searching through the plane's burnt remnants, which were strewn across lush green fields. Bodies were carried to ambulances on stretchers.
