With a clear view of the sky, the sun was shining bright.

The weather was fair, and quite perfect for ATR 72's Yeti Airlines Flight 691, a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara in Nepal.

But without any warning or alert, the Plane which was about to land during its final approach to the landing strip, crashed on the bank of the Seti Gandaki River.

A video was recorded by a witness on the ground showed that the plane banked too steeply to the left, which made it stall and crash.

This video went viral.

If this video is not harrowing or chilling enough, another video that also went viral, shows a first-person view and experience of the plane, before, during, and after the crash.

The video by Sonu Jaiswal, a passenger of the ill-fated plane, was live streamed on Facebook. .

In the video, Jaiswal had a window seat on the ill-fated plane. He was recording the things he saw inside the plane, and out of the window.

From the video, it's clear that everyone on board seem to not realize what was about to happen.

Passengers of the plane are heard speaking and whispering, and from the looks on their faces, many of them cannot wait to land.

Jaiswal can be seen smiling amid chatter in the background. He points his smartphone's camera towards the window, where the wing of the aircraft can be seen. The footage shows how friendly the skies were, as the plane descents.

Nothing unfamiliar, until screams are heard.

With no emergency warnings from the pilot nor the cabin crew, Yeti Airlines Flight 691 abruptly shakes and Jaiswal loses focus.

Seconds later, fire is seen.

The phone survived the impact, at least for a brief moment after the crash, showing the flame and an apparent tree bark, before the livestream ended.

"We were watching it. We had watched for just a few seconds and then it got cut. We did not think much about it," said Arman Ansari, a friend of Jaiswal’s from in India.

"I saw the plane trembling, moving left and right, and then suddenly it nosedived, and it went into the gorge," said local resident Khum Bahadur Chhetri.

The fatal crash occurred between the old Pokhara Airport and the new Pokhara International Airport, which was only opened two weeks before the crash happened.

As a result of this crash, all 72 people on board, 68 passengers, including a child and four crew members, have died.

According to Nepali authorities, there were 53 Nepali citizens on board, and 15 foreign nationals hailing from India, Russia, South Korea, Australia, Argentina, Ireland and France.

Aviation authorities said that the pilot of the plane had asked air traffic controllers for a change of landing strip minutes before the crash.

Pokhara airport has two landing strips pilots can choose when landing. And here, senior captain Kamal KC's request was accepted by air traffic control.

"When the Yeti Airlines pilot asked the tower if he can take the second runway to land, the tower approved it," CAAN (Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal) spokesperson Jagannath Niroula said. "The tower controllers didn’t ask why the pilot wanted to use a different runway than originally planned since it wasn’t an issue technically from their end which runway the pilot chooses to land."

No distress calls were reported from the pilot to the Pokhara airport tower controllers, he added.

It didn't take long until the authorities recovered the black box flight recorder from the wreckage.

Because the Yeti Airlines ATR 72 turboprop’s engines were manufactured in Canada by Pratt & Whitney Canada, while ATR is based in France, air accident investigators from both Canada and France have to participate in the probe.

The tragic incident marks Nepal's worst aviation accident since the crash of Pakistan International Airlines Flight 268 in 1992.

It's worth noting that the husband of Anju Khatiwada, the co-pilot of the plane, also worked for Yeti Airlines.

He died in the 2006 during Yeti Airlines Twin Otter crash.
