  1. "Trained in US" and "not up to American standards??" 🤔🧐

  2. I see the USA are trying to get all pilots trained in the USA… Train them in Italy…

  3. The female co-pilot was a captain (12 years with the airline) and she was receiving flight instruction from a company instructor pilot; based on the video of the plane yawing to the left as it did, I would be willing to bet the instructor pilots idled an engine on the her to simulate an engine out — it was also quite nose up, which caused the plane to stall. Anything though would just be a guess right now. What a shame. When I worked in aviation in New England years ago, we had a Business Express flight doing pilot training — the instructor pilot idled the engine on final and they crashed and dies — luckily, they didn't have passengers.

  4. May Their Souls Rest In Peace ☮️

  5. Pta nahi inn auratoo ko kaun pilot bana deta hai naa car chalani aati na aeroplane

  6. Most likely religious terrorist pilot

  7. aaja chaii Satrangi Park 💗🥀 ma gako haii tw🤗🥀 #salin_silwal ‎@salin_silwal10.9k  ‎@adgameing6  #1k

  8. Woman pilot. Affirmative Action. Diversity KILLS.

  9. It’s hard to watch any kind of news anymore when all are chasing agendas and trying to blame others for something that could be a simple mistake or accident…..respectfully of course…

  10. I just looked at video of this same type of aircraft(ar-72) landing, and in the video you can clearly see from( front and side angles) the landing flaps which extend at least 3/4 of the way to the wing tips. Which means you should be able to see flaps down in the video footage that has been uploaded so far if the flaps had been down.I noticed this from the Facebook live video they didn't look down but wasn't sure. But after searching video of the same type of plane I seriously don't think they were down. I think that's what they're gonna find was the reason. Sad, sad tragedy.

  11. I wonder how long she's been flying? Was she inspired to follow his path to the end? Could be coincidence.

  12. More than 70% air accident happens during take off or landing. So Airbags like auto industry is very much need of the hour in all passenger airline. Definitely this will save many numerous precious lives….

  13. Looks like slow speed caused the accident.

  14. Great video: Most people don't realize the economy is collapsing and there is an increasing rate of unemployment worldwide, so take advantage and prepare by making investment to survive.

  15. pray for all souls😭😭😭😭😭

  16. Damn flying in the Himalayas is scary

  17. Only Nepal would name there airlines the Yeti airlines

  18. it almost looks like the pilot did that on purpose

  19. I highly likely think , main pilot got incapacitated. Stall like visual look like normal , as there nearing the tracks to land. The sudden left turn feels like , someone falling on to control columns or left rudder pushed accidently.

  20. Most likely left engine lost power somehow at the low approach air speed.

  21. HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
    Whoever repents of all his sins (turns from sins) and calls on the Name of the LORD, will be saved! He who died on a cross for the sins of the world, rose from the dead on the third day, and by His blood, whoever repents and believes, has full redemption of sins and eternal life.
    Today is the day of your salvation, repent and confess Jesus the Christ now as your Lord and be saved, because you broke the law but He paid your fine with His life's blood.

    For those with understanding: Matthew 24:40-41 will take place very soon, this is the sixth seal. This is the generation of the harpazo, rapture, and behold you will witness the trumpet blast that will make the sky recede as a scroll being rolled up! Therefore, be ready and be the five wise virgins, do not be the five foolish virgins! (Parable of the Ten Virgins…)

  22. Small planes are not safe as big ones. RIP for all the dead from India.

  23. Father, I ask that you wrap your arms around Family,Friends, and Investigators this morning.. Please talk to them and bring guidance into their lives with your word..

I ask that you please remove the sadness and replace it with happiness, love, laughter and tears of joy for the memories made and for the memories they can make in heaven.. Father, I ask that you please provide for any assistance or needs that they may have and I ask that you please provide the help they need in finding out what went wrong.. In Jesus name, I pray.. Amen!!!

  24. Oh my, prayers,😥wow so sad

  25. They won't go after the airline CEOs, ya know the people responsible for this product, so this is a wash.

  26. Question 1: Was the pilot vaxed or boosted recently?

  27. Pilot error, mechanical failure or deliberate.

  28. 2020 Iran shut down passenger plane, 2022 china plane crash, and now this, why does we still didn't have technology to save people in a situation like this?, ive seen some ideas where a inside canister will seperate completly to a plane then land similar to a NASA capsule. why cant they make that thing possible. smh

  29. Does anyone remember the plane that took a straight nose dive in China about a year ago and it was just swept under the rug and forgot about?

  30. A stall….thats what happened….but instrument failure could have caused it……People using the Net and smart phones on an airplane on approach…INSANE….This is why they ask us to shut off all electronic equipments…..Its for our own safety ..which we disregard

  31. I’m still trying to figure out how Bill Gates did this…

  32. talking about standards, lets see if the american or the european pilots can land in Lukla.. if not standard, then how did the US certify the pilot-license to the nepali pilots who died?
