What a disaster! My heartfelt sympathies to all involved but I just hope it's not Verticai Freedom.
My condolences. Rest in peace
Just a heads up - and I'm not sure if the editors of the page actually realized it - but there is a body in the fourth picture. May want to put a warning in the OP, it's quite gruesome once you realize what you are looking at.
count number 41 air crashes as of now in Nepal this century, worst aviation safety record in the World
Also remember they lost another AS350 some years ago with fatalities (came into contact with montain).
Nepal is not the only rough mountain environment out there so I would be courious to know why so much occurences over there?
Sadly from the very top the political system is corrupt & does everything wrong, stealing the wealth of the country to line their own pockets
Nepal aviation is a different case. It has the worst flying conditions in the World. High altitude leading to performance problems, weather condition leading to fine margins for safe operation and a demand for results as opposed to safe procedures.
There are compatible situations in other parts of the world, especially offshore support. The difference is that the Supervising Authority has been established for decades and is immune from outside sources. They say jump, the operators say how high.
Until, on your own admission, Nepal gets it's Governmental Act together then it will continue to go on.
