Nukakot (Nepal), August 08 (ANI): The Nepal government has formed a three-membered committee to investigate the second aviation accident after a helicopter crashed into the hills of Nepal on Wednesday killing all 5 on board. An emergency cabinet meeting held earlier in the afternoon soon after the crash of the Air Dynasty helicopter formed the committee to be led by Senior Nepal Army Pilot Subhash Thapa. The other members of the commission are aeronautical engineer Bishnu Basnet and Tanuja Pokharel. The recent crash on Wednesday, which came less than a fortnight after the Saurya Airlines crash claimed the lives of 18 people on board on July 24 within the premises of Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. The Air Dynasty helicopter which was carrying four Chinese nationals flew by a Nepali Pilot came down the slopes of a treacherous mountain which during the monsoon is clouded by thick mist. Security personnel had to scour through the wreckage of the chopper which had come down on the slopes of the forest without proper safety and protective equipment. As per the witnesses, the helicopter was engulfed in fire when they reached to the actual crash site which is covered by dense trees and bushes with thrones and spikes. The chopper came down in the Shivapuri National Park area which lies within 20 nautical miles from the Tribhuvan International Airport, the take-off spot.
