A plane crashed into a mountain in the Himalayas while trying to land at an airport in northern Nepal on Monday, killing 15 people and injuring six, some critically.
It was carrying two pilots and a flight attendant — all Nepalese —
along with 16 Indians and two Danish citizens, both of whom survived,
officials said.
Television footage showed the Danes being taken inside a hospital in
the nearby city of Pokhara, the man being led on foot and the woman
crying in pain as she was carried on a stretcher.
