AP 통신에 따르면, 이 참혹한 비행기 사고는 총 68명의 사망자가 나왔으며 네팔 민간 항공청의 대변인은 비행 데이터의 녹음기와 음성 녹음기를 회수했다고 밝혔다.
The dead, many of whom were returning home, include a pharmaceutical marketing agent who was coming to be with his sister as she gave birth, and a minister of a Korean religious group who was traveling to the school he founded.
사상자의 대다수는 집으로 돌아가는 중이었고, 여기에는 한국 종교 단체의 대표자가 그가 설립한 학교를 방문하는 목적으로 이 비행기에 탑승해 있었다고 한다.
It’s still not clear what caused the crash, which took place less than a minute’s flight from the plane’s destination, on a mild day amid calm winds.
이번 사건의 자세한 경위나 원인은 아직 밝혀지지 않은 것으로 조사되었으며, 이 사고는 비행의 목적지와 굉장히 가까운 곳에서 발생했고, 비행에 영향을 미칠만큼 날씨도 나쁘지 않은 것으로 확인되었다.
Amit Singh, an experienced pilot and founder of India’s Safety Matters Foundation, said Bohora’s video appears to show a stall, a situation in which a plane loses lift, especially likely at low airspeeds.
경험이 풍부한 조종사이자 인도의 안전 문제 재단의 설립자인 Amit Singh은 이 사고가 Stall이라고 불리우는 상황을 잘 보여준다고 했으며 이는 비행기가 낮은 속도에서 고도를 잃어 발생하는 사고라고 설명했다.
Jagannath Niraula said the flight recorders were found on Monday, and will be handed over to investigators. Rescuers are still searching the debris, which is scattered down a 300-meter (984 feet) gorge. Pemba Sherpa, spokesperson for Yeti Airlines, confirmed that both the flight data and the cockpit voice recorders have been found
네팔의 한 관계자에 따르면, 비행에 관한 녹음본과 비디오가 월요일에 발견되었고, 이 녹음본은 곧 조사자들에게 인계될 것으로 예상된다.
A pilot who routinely flies an ATR 72-500 plane from India to Nepal said the region’s topography, with its mountain peaks and narrow valleys, raises the risk of accidents and sometimes requires pilots to fly by sight rather than relying on instruments. The pilot, who works for a private Indian airline and didn’t want to be named due to company policy, called the ATR 72-500 an “unforgiving aircraft” if the pilot isn’t highly skilled and familiar with the region’s terrain and wind speeds.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the Pokhara Academy of Health and Science, Western Hospital, where the bodies are being kept. Bimala Bhenderi was waiting outside the post-mortem room Monday. She was planning to meet her friend, Tribhuban Paudel, on Tuesday when she heard that his flight had crashed. “I’m so sad, I can’t believe it still,” she said in tears.
인도에서 네팔로 운행을 지속하던 파일럿은 네팔의 지역적 특징인 높은 산봉우리와 좁은 계곡이 사고의 위험도를 높였다고 하며, 이는 파일럿에게 하여금 비행기의 자동 기술에 의존하는 것보다, 파일럿의 숙련된 기술이 더 중요하다고 밝혔다.
인도의 항공사에 근무하는 한 파일럿은 만약 이 지역을 운행하는 파일럿이 충분한 기술을 가지고 있지 않다면 이러한 사고는 불가피하다고 밝혔다.
수많은 사람들이 사망자의 시신을 보관하고 있는 Pokhara Academy에 모여있으며, 참혹한 사고에 많은 슬픔을 보이고 있다고 한다.
The Civil Aviation Authority said that 38 people have been identified. Gyan Khadka, a police spokesperson in the district, said the bodies will be handed over to family after officials finish post mortem reports.
The Russian Ambassador to Nepal, Alexei Novikov, confirmed the death of four Russian citizens who were on board the plane. South Korea’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it’s still trying to confirm the fate of two South Korean passengers and has sent staff to the scene.
Omar Gutiérrez, governor of Argentina’s Neuquen province, wrote on his official Twitter account that an Argentine passenger on the flight was Jannet Palavecino, from his province.
민간 항공 대변인은 현재 38명의 사망자의 신원을 확인했다고 밝혔으며, 사망자의 시신은 조사가 끝난 후 가족의 품으로 돌아갈 것이라고 발표했다. 러시아 대사관은 항공기에 탑승중이던 4명의 러시아 국적의 사망자를 확인했고, 한국 또한 항공기에 탑승중이던 2명의 신원을 확인하기 위해 노력중이라고 한다.
