Plane accident at Lukla Airport Nepal

Posted by Anjan Kc December 28, 2014 :
After trekking in the Mt. Everest region in Nepal, I got stuck in Luckla for a couple days whicle the fog rolled in. When I went to catch my plane, this happened. Upon landing in Lukla, the plane lost breaking ability and skid into the concrete wall at the end of the runway. It took some time to clear the runway because they don't have tow vehicles at the airport
