NEPAL PLANE Tragedy: Pilot Error Causes Deadliest Crash in 30 Years, Killing 72 Innocents
— A devastating plane crash occurred in Nepal earlier this year, taking the lives of 72 people. Among the victims were two American citizens and two U.S. permanent residents. The fatal accident was likely a result of pilot error, according to a report released by government investigators last Thursday.
The ill-fated Yeti Airlines flight was en route from Kathmandu to Pokhara when it plunged into a gorge nestled in the Himalayan foothills. This incident has been marked as the most catastrophic airline disaster Nepal has witnessed in over three decades.
All passengers on board the twin-engine ATR 72 aircraft met with an untimely death — including two infants, four crew members, and fifteen foreign nationals.
The investigation report suggests that both condition levers were mistakenly shifted to the feathered position during flight. This led to both propellers feathering and subsequent loss of thrust which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and collision with terrain. It appears that due to lack of awareness and standard operating procedures, pilots accidentally selected power-controlling condition levers instead of flap lever.
Morocco’s DEADLIEST Earthquake in a Century: OVER 2,000 Lives Lost and Rising
— Morocco has been hit by its most powerful earthquake in 120 years. The devastating 6.8 magnitude quake has resulted in over 2,000 fatalities and severe structural damage. With rescue efforts ongoing, the death toll is feared to increase as remote areas remain inaccessible.
The quake’s destructive force was felt nationwide, causing extensive damage to ancient cities and isolated villages alike. Remote communities such as those in the Ouargane Valley have been cut off from the rest of the world due to power outages and disrupted cell service. Residents are left grieving for their lost neighbors while assessing their own losses.
In Marrakech, residents are fearful of returning indoors due to potential building instability. Notable landmarks like the Koutoubia Mosque have sustained damage; however, the full extent is yet to be determined. Videos on social media show significant damage to parts of Marrakech’s iconic red walls that encircle the old city.
The Interior Ministry reports a death toll of at least 2,012 people mainly from Marrakech and nearby provinces close to the epicenter. Additionally, over 2,059 individuals were injured with more than half listed in critical condition.
