A video taken just minutes before the Yeti Airlines plane crash in Nepal’s Pokhara has gone viral on social media. But, the authenticity of the video is still unknown.
It has been seen that four residents of Gazipur under the Uttar Pradesh of India who were on board the plane were allegedly live on Facebook to share their experience of the flight.
The 1.30-minute video shows one of them excitedly shouting ‘Mouz Kar Di’ as the city of Pokhara looks down.
The camera of the phone also turns towards one of them, Sonu Jaiswal. However, after 58 seconds the video shows the plane making a sharp turn to the left before crashing and bursting into flames. The video shows huge flames around it for the next 30 seconds.
This video was reportedly live from Sonu Jaiswal’s Facebook profile. Indian media said that his brother Rajat Jaiswal confirmed the video. “After boarding the flight to Pokhara, Sonu was live on Facebook. The live streaming showed that Sonu and his friends were in a happy mood, but before the streaming stopped, the plane suddenly crashed and caught fire,” Rajat Jaiswal informed the media.
