A probe team from the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) will arrive at Kathmandu airport in Nepal today to examine the spot where a US-Bangla plane burst into flames on landing on Monday, killing at least 50 of the 71 passengers and crew.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal and Tribhuvan International Airport authority launched their own investigations soon after the incident, which occurred at 2:18pm local time on Monday and is the worst civil aviation disaster in the history of Bangladesh.

A formal press release from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) said the pilot did not follow the tower controller’s instructions during landing.

Citing Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal Sanjiv Gauttam, the BBC reported that the Bombardier Q400 series aircraft was permitted to land from the southern side of the runway flying over Koteshwor, but had in fact landed from the northern side.
We still have not figured out the reason behind the unusual landing,” Gauttam told the BBC.

The airport has a sole runway, referred to as runway 02 and runway 20 depending on the approach vector. From the recording of the air traffic controller and the pilot’s discussion prior to landing, it was surmised there was gross miscommunication.

According a CAAN press release, the pilot confirmed that he could land the plane safely when he changed the direction of the aircraft.

He took an additional holding pattern – the oval course flown by aircraft awaiting clearance especially to land – before he was alerted by the controller that plane’s alignment was not correct. No response from the aircraft was forthcoming.

“The pilot lost control and could not land on the runway – instead the aircraft crashed into a nearby field,” Bangladesh Civil aviation minister AKM Shajahan Kamal said.

CAAB Chairman Air Vice Marshal M Naim Hassan told the Dhaka Tribune that the probe committee from Bangladesh will mainly assist the CAAN committee.

“After getting the report from the committee, we will be able to comment on why the plane crashed,” he said.

US-Bangla Airlines CEO Imran Asif, meanwhile, claimed that the authorities at the Tribhuvan International Airport were at fault.

He said the air traffic control tower issued incorrect information which led to the crash.

“The pilot, Captain Abid Sultan, is alive and not at fault. He is a skilled pilot and we have never had any technical malfunctions over the last three years,” Imran added.

Hello @jaber-hossain, Nice to meet you!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

  • If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
    Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
  • So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
  • If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
  • If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
  • If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶

Are you going to tell me a punchline?

It's a plane crash which costs 51 lives and scores are severely injured.

You don't bury the survivors.

Not yet because it was occured outside our country. So you know they have lots of official process to bring those dead body back.

Are you trying to annoy me.

Obviously not, but I like you.

No. What's your name?

This my original name. I ain't using fake name.

Kurt Cobain wasn't the first person to step on the moon, I WAS!

Who is this Kurt Cobain??? I don't know that guy. But I know that was Neil Armstrong. But you're saying that was you. That means you're the spirit of Armstrong. Oh noooooo!!!

I'm going on your own and I'm sorry 😐 said he.

Then you must be a celebrity. Wow 😊
