Nepal Plane Crash Kills 15 [02:16]
A small plane owned by a private company crashed in northwest Nepal on Monday, killing 15 people including 13 Indians.

Among those killed are 13 Indians and two Nepalis. Six survivors had been taken to a hospital in Pokhara and the condition of at least one of them is critical. Two Danish tourists were among those rescued. Jomsom, about 125 km (79 miles) northwest of Kathmandu, is a gateway for trekking in the region where Mount Annapurna, the world's 10th highest mountain, is located.
