A few technical staff members were also on board the tragic Mitsubishi CRJ-200ER flight 9N-AME, which was operating out of Saurya Arlines. Witnesses told the Kathmandu Post that the aircraft attempted to take off from the runway’s southern end. But all of a sudden, it dipped to one side, and the tip of one wing struck the ground, setting the plane on fire and sending it falling. Then, on the eastern side of the runway, it fell into a gorge.
