Bird strike is entirely plausible. I once was in Nepal for 2 months and if you look up at any one time you almost always see one of more birds of prey. It’s on many bird migratory routes so rich in bird life. Dean you can quote that if you want.
Spectacular views from planes E.g. many air routes are east west to the south of the Himalayas and international flights into Kathmandu can pass Everest at the same height. I have a photo of it from aircraft window, albeit at a distance.
