Rescue teams sifting through the debris from a plane crash in a Nepal gorge on Monday uncovered the data and cockpit voice recorders and the remains of a 69th victim, authorities said.
The cause of Sunday’s crash near the tourist town of Pokhara remains under investigation. The flight included 68 passengers and a crew of four. The search for the three missing people continued Monday. “We pray for a miracle,” local official Tek Bahadur KC told Agence France-Presse. “But the hope of finding anyone alive is nil.”
At least 41 of the victims had been identified, but authorities said many bodies in the country’s deadliest aviation disaster since 1992 were burned beyond recognition. A team of forensic experts has reached Pokhara from Kathmandu to complete the identifications, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal said.
