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,"

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.

...for those interested:
Accident: Summit L410 at Lukla on Apr 14th 2019, runway excursion on takeoff and collision with two helicopters (http://avherald.com/h?article=4c6ab4e7&opt=0)
On Feb 18th 2020 Nepal's AAIC released their final report (http://tourism.gov.np//files/publication_files/292.pdf) concluding the probable cause of the accident was:
"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"
:rolleyes: nuff sed ?
