At least 15 people have died in a plane crash after it tried to land near a treacherous high-altitude mountain airport in Nepal's northern Himalayas.
The plane, which was carrying 21 people, crashed into the side of a steep hill as it tried to land at Jomsom Airport, a gateway to a popular tourist and trekking destination about 125 miles north west of the capital Kathmandu.
Four survivors in a critical condition were flown by helicopter to the nearby city of Pokhara for treatment, said Laxmi Raj Sharma, chief government administrator in the area.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
