I am fortunate to be alive, says a survivor

Basanta Bohora is one of the survivors of the deadly plane crash that occurred in Kathmandu of Nepal on Monday.

He shared his experience about the accident with the Kathmandu Post.

The Nepalese citizen was seated near the window and was able to break out of the window.

The employee of Raswita International Travels and Tours had visited Bangladesh for training.

“There were 16 Nepalese from various travel agencies onboard the airplane,” said Bohora,

Bohora recalled that the take-off was normal from Dhaka.

"But, when the plane approached the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu for landing, the aircraft began to behave strangely," he said.

“All of a sudden the plane shook violently and there was a loud bang afterwards,” he said,

He is currently receiving medical attention at Thapathali-based Norvic Hospital.

“I have no recollection after I got out of the plane, someone took me to Sinamangal hospital and from there my friends brought me to Norvic,” he said,

Basanta Bohora received injuries to his head and legs but he survived the ordeal.
