We began our fact-checking process by performing a reverse image search on a keyframe from the video. This led us to a video uploaded by The Economic Times on YouTube on 16 January 2023, titled: “Last moments of passengers onboard Yeti Airlines which crashed in Nepal.”
Additionally, we came across a relevant report by LiveMint published on 27 January 2023. According to the report, the Yeti Airlines flight crashed in Pokhara, killing all 72 people on board, including five Indian nationals. The flight was traveling from Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital, to Pokhara, the country’s second-largest city nestled beneath the scenic Annapurna mountain range. It was Nepal’s deadliest air disaster in three decades.
