Breaking: Nepal Plane Crash 2 Days After Last Disaster

News that another plane has crashed in Nepal is appearing on the wires just two days after a passenger jet carrying 23 people went down in the jungle.

Two pilots of a plane carrying nine people have been killed, according to early reports, with all passengers reported injured.

Kathmandu news outlets have reported that Pilot Dinesh Neupane and Co-pilot Santosh Rana died in the incident after the aircraft crash landed at Chilakhaya 2, Jigeli.
