A group of five friends on holiday can be heard laughing on a Facebook live stream as the plane comes into land at an airport in Nepal.
His phone kept broadcasting and captured the moment the plane crashed and was engulfed by fire.
Footage shows him filming out of the window while one of his friends can be heard saying “it’s a lot of fun” as the rooftops of the city can be seen below.
The landing seems routine until suddenly the screen turns orange and screams are heard as the cabin appears to shake.
Sonu’s phone keep broadcasting as crashing noises are heard and then the cabin is consumed by fire.

Is the dude filming the same guy who brought down the plane?
Stalled that plane. Wing drop and inverting from the stall. Insufficient altitude to recover.
where they in the part of the flight where you are suppose to turn off electronics?
Supposedly not:

Flipped all the way over supposedly.
Do you know why they want you to turn them off?
The pilot was landing at the new airport in Nepal that just opened on Jan 1. He was coming from the southeast and was originally cleared to land on Rwy 30 which would have been a straight in approach. He requested a change to Rwy 12 which require him to fly a different approach in the opposite direction.
The plane appeared to be configured correctly for landing and the engines looked like they were operating although the final investigation will determine this from the flight data recorder. What is clear from an aeronautical analysis is that the plane stalled close to the ground and entered a left spin that was not recoverable. Either they got too low and slow on an instrument approach or became disoriented and tried to raise the nose when they shouldn’t have.
The weather was good and they were not in the area of high terrain that was a problem with the old airport which was closer to the mountains.
no...i just assumed it caused interferance
That’s exactly how a twin engine prop plane stalls at low speed and high power input. Airspeed below minimum controllable speed.
Because they don’t want passenger electronic devices interfering with cockpit avionics...you know, the gear that makes sure the plane is flying the right altitude, speed, direction and insures the jet isn’t gonna run into a mountain......or the ocean?
That’s why.
given that the plane was approaching to land could the guy facetiming have caused an electronic problem
I wonder if the pilot died from climate change?
They are not the least bit worried about properly functioning modern devices interfering with the avionics. They have all the safeguards they need against them. They are worried about malfunctioning devices because they cannot protect against devices with malfunctions they cannot predict. It’s the unknown unknowns that are the problem. Just thought you all would like to know.
Make note to self. Don’t fly on Yeti Airlines.
Possibly, but from Covid for sure.
Yeah, looks like they’re not joking about putting phones in Airplane Mode.
Yeti airlines are cooler
Stall on final approach. When the left wing drops from stall instinct is to apply right aileron and pull up on the stick yoke, but this only increases the stall. He was slow in the turn and when the the left wing began to drop in a left roll in a left turn the pilot needed to apply right rudder and push the stick forward to stop the left wing stall and level the plane while adding power. Failed to catch the stall fast enough.
