Drones At Nepal Plane Crash Site Look For Final 2 Passengers

 

Nepal Plane

After the country's deadliest plane crash in thirty years, which left at least 70 people dead, searchers employed drones and rappelled down a 200-meter-deep valley in west Nepal on Tuesday to look for two passengers still missing.

The Yeti Airlines ATR 72 turboprop carrying 72 people crashed in clear weather on Sunday just before landing. Difficult terrain and bad weather made rescue efforts difficult close to the tourist resort of Pokhara.

"There is a lot of fog right now. We are sending search and rescue teams with ropes down the gorge where the plane's debris landed and caught fire "Ajay K.C., a Pokhara police official involved in the rescue operations,” said to Reuters.

On Monday, two more bodies were found by searchers before they had to abandon the effort due to low light.

"The passengers included young children. Some may have died from burns and gone undiscovered. We'll keep looking for them "said K.C.

Television broadcasts featured images of some grieving family members standing outside a Pokhara hospital where autopsies are being performed while they wait for the body of their loved ones.

Searchers discovered the flight's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder on Monday, both of which were in good shape. This finding is likely to aid investigators in determining what caused the disaster.

International aviation regulations mandate that the governments of the nations where the aircraft and its engines were conceived and constructed are automatically involved in the investigation.

Pratt & Whitney Canada produced the aircraft's engines, and ATR is based in France.

Air accident investigators from France and Canada have indicated that they intend to take part in the investigation.

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
