Pokhara: A video has gone viral on the internet which allegedly captured the last moments of the Yeti Airlines flight which crashed in Nepal's Pokhara city on Sunday killing 68 people.

The video was allegedly captured by one of the Indian passengers of the flight, who died in the incident, when he went live on Facebook. At least 68 people died when the Yeti Airlines plane, which had 72 passengers on board, crashed upon landing at Pokhara International Airport in Nepal's Kaski district.

In the video, the passenger could be seen recording the view from the flight when suddenly the plane catches fire and crashes.

The phone kept on recording even as the flight was on fire.

There were five Indian passengers on board, all of whom were from Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh. One of them, Sonu Jaiswal, was apparently doing a Facebook Live shortly before the flight crashed. He is among the dead, reports NDTV.

All the Indian passengers died in the incident.

They were identified as Abhisekh Kushwaha, 25, Bishal Sharma, 22, Anil Kumar Rajbhar, 27, Sonu Jaiswal, 35, and Sanjaya Jaiswal.
