KATHMANDU, Jan 17 — Searchers used drones and rappelled down a 200 metres deep gorge in west Nepal on Tuesday to search for two passengers still unaccounted for after the country’s deadliest plane crash in 30 years, which killed at least 70 people.
“There is thick fog here now. We are sending search and rescue personnel using ropes into the gorge where parts of the plane fell and was in flames,” Ajay K.C., a police official in Pokhara who is part of the rescue efforts, told Reuters.“There were small children among the passengers. Some might have been burnt and died, and may not be found out. We will continue to look for them,” K.C. said.
On Monday, searchers found the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the flight, both in good condition, a discovery that is likely to help investigators determine what caused the crash.
