Missing Nepal plane: Wreckage found

Officials in Nepal say the wreckage of a missing passenger plane with 18 people on board has been located in the western district of Arghakhanchi. The Nepal Airlines plane was flying from the resort city of Pokhara to Jumla when contact was lost shortly after take-off on Sunday. An aviation official said the plane appeared to have crashed into a hill. A helicopter had identified burning wreckage and spotters believed there were no survivors, he said. "The search helicopter has reported that it has found the wreckage and has seen the tail portion of the plane burning," said Bimlesh Lal Karna, a rescue coordinator with the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), according to BBC.
