A Saurya Airlines plane crashed during takeoff in the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu. Footage from eyewitness cameras shows how a plane that had just taken off suddenly flips over, touches the ground with its wing and then bursts into flames.

The Bombardier CRJ 200 was reportedly carrying technical personnel from Saurya Airlines. The plane was en route to the Nepalese city of Pokhara for maintenance.

“According to preliminary data, this was a test flight. Only airline technical personnel were on board.



The causes of the crash are still unknown. Tribhuvan Airport, where the crash occurred, was temporarily closed. Emergency services are on site.
