Nepal Airliner Crash Kills Dozens
---------------------------------

In Nepal, an investigation is underway into the cause of a Yeti Airlines
crash on Sunday that appears to have killed all 72 people on board. It
was Nepal's deadliest air disaster in more than three decades. The plane
had been traveling from the capital Kathmandu to Nepal's second-largest
city, Pokhara, when it began rolling from side to side before crashing
into a gorge and catching fire. Investigators were able to recover the
plane's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder on Monday.
