Eighteen people, including 12 German and 2 Australian tourists, have died in a plane crash in Nepal, the BBC has reported. The Yeti Airlines plane reportedly crashed and burst into planes on landing at an airport in the town of Lukla, east of Kathmandu. Only one person, the Nepalese pilot, is thought to have survived.
Lukla’s airport is located on a mountainside, 2,860m above seas-level. It is thought to be popular with mountaineers and trekkers heading for the Himalayas.
