The Bombardier CRJ 200 plane operated by Saurya Airlines was travelling to the resort town of Pokhara when it reportedly skidded off the runway during take-off at around 11am local time (6.15am UK time). It was not clear how it slipped. The plane was carrying two crew members and 17 technicians to Pokhara city to repair another aircraft, officials said. The pilot was the only one onboard to survive, as officials said that 18 people had died in the crash. Footage showed firefighters trying to put out the blaze and thick black smoke rising into the sky. They also showed the plane flying a little above the runway and then tilting before it crashed. Other videos showed rescue workers rummaging through the charred remains of the plane, strewn in lush green fields.
