Nepal plane crash: At least 18 people dead at airport in Kathmandu

The pilot appears to be the only survivor of a plane crash in Nepal's capital.
The aircraft crashed during take-off in Kathmandu, killing at least 18 other people on board.
Media are reporting the plane skidded off the runway before bursting into flames. Rescuers put out the blaze.
It crashed just before lunchtime on Wednesday. It was headed to Pokhara city in central Nepal.

Kosh Raj Koirala is the editor of the English language publication Republica Daily.
He says Nepal's aviation industry has a poor safety record.
