No Canadians Believed to be in Nepal Plane Crash

Officials say at this point almost everyone killed

The grim search for more bodies of a plane crash in Nepal continues, during a national day of mourning.

The plane crashed into a gorge while trying to land, killing at least 68 of the 72 on board.  Passengers included 15 foreigners, but none are believed to be Canadians.

It is the country's deadliest plane accident in three decades.

A witness who recorded footage of the plane's descent from his balcony says he saw the plane flying low before it suddenly veered to its left.

It was flying from the capital Kathmandu to a tourist town 200-kilometres to the west, when it crashed while approaching a new airport.

Officials say the flight data and voice recorders have been retrieved.

Nepal is just south of China.
