International Desk:
A painful plane crash happened in Nepal on Sunday.  The plane crashed before landing.  A total of 72 people including 68 passengers were on board the aircraft.  In which 5 Indians are also included.  This was the last flight of the crashed plane's co-pilot Anju Khativada as co-pilot.  Anju was about to become the captain after making the plane a safe landing.  For this, she went on a flight with senior pilot and trainer Kamal KC.
Actually, to become a flying captain, at least 100 hours of flying experience is required.  Co-pilot Anju had successfully landed in almost all the airports of Nepal earlier also.  While flying to Pokhara on Sunday, Captain KC made him sit on the seat of the chief pilot.  After the successful landing, Anju was about to get the chief pilot's license, but unfortunately, just before 10 seconds from the distance, all the dreams and desires went up in smoke.
An irony in this accident is that co-pilot Anju's husband also lost his life in the plane crash.  Actually, her husband Deepak Pokharel was also posted as a co-pilot in Yeti Airlines.  Anju's husband was the co-pilot in the plane crash of Yeti Airlines 16 years ago i.e. on June 21, 2006.  Yeti Airlines 9N AEQ aircraft crashed while going to Jumla from Nepalganj to Surkhet.  In which 6 passengers and 4 crew members were killed.
