Summary: | The plane crash landed on the bank of the Manohara River minutes after taking off from Trinbhuvan Airport. Some witnesses reported seeing the front of the plane on fire before it crashed. Overloading and the lack of performance in the climb phase due to loss of engine power led to a stall. |
