Quote: "Forty-nine people were killed when a Bangladeshi plane crashed and burst into flames near Kathmandu airport on Monday, in the worst aviation disaster to hit Nepal in nearly three decades. Officials said there were 71 people on board the US-Bangla Airlines plane from Dhaka when it crashed just east of the runway and skidded into a nearby football field. Rescuers had to cut apart the mangled and burned wreckage of the upturned aircraft to pull people out, some of whom were buried under the scattered debris. 'Forty people died at the spot and nine died at two hospitals in Kathmandu,' police spokesman Manoj Neupane told AFP, adding another 22 were being treated in hospital, some in a critical condition."
