LET 410 vs Helicopter (Manang) collision at Lukla
Just posted on the Tenzing Hillary Airport Facebook site. Nothing posted about casualties.
(Or maybe it is a Dornier.)
"भर्खरै भएको दुर्घटना.
लुक्लामा Manang Helicopter र Summit Air को दु:खद दुर्घटना,"

Looks like a LET 410 Summit Air 9N-AMH

Really good thing there was no fire! hose hand held fire instiginsher would not have stopped anything
other footages show: the airplane wing grabbed the heli just below the rotor head at the MGB and flipped it over with a lot of energy

Really weird accident.
To me from the outside without knowing the aircraft I would think of a right engine failure, a locked brake, front wheel steering failure or a rudder failure.
I don't know the LET's systems.
Luckily no pax on board.
Rip to all people involved.

I’ve just seen this video from the helicopter pad side of the runway.

"probable cause of the accident was aircraft's veering towards right during initial take-off roll as a result of asymmetric power due to abrupt shifting of right power lever rearwards"
