Identification of the 15 victims of the Agni Air Crash in Nepal is going to be a difficult task, due to the condition of the remains.
The six survivors have been hospitalized in from critical to serious condition. A six year old, and a nine year old along with their father, are among the survivors. They are hospitalized Pokhara. Their father is in ICU and may survive.
Among the dead is the Rasna girl, actress Taruni Sachdev, Sanam Sundhar, G Raman, Latha Ethambai, mother of two children who survived and Swarnalakshmi.
After autopsy, the bodies of the victims will be handed over to their families. Everyone on the flight had visited the Iskcon temple at Chowpatty and were on their way to the Muktinath temple in Nepal, when the pilot turned with plane trouble, his intent to return to Pokhara Airport, and his wing struck a muddy slope, crashing the plane.
What: Beechcraft 35 Bonanza
Where: Glencoe, MN
When: March 21, 2012, 11:00 a.m.
Who: 3 fatalities
Why: The plane crashed on farmland four mines north of Glencoe killing what appears to be a family of three aboard the plane and also three dogs. Conditions were five miles visibility and overcast at 900 feet and the pilot may have been flying by visual flight rules in conditions when VFR flight isn’t allowed. Visibility in the area is known to drop “at the drop of a hat” so the pilot may have flown into worsening conditions inadvertently.
Witnesses say they heard the plane sputtering, and heard a popping noise before impact. Others saw the plane flying low before it hit the ground in foggy drizzly weather leaving a two-hundred yard debris field. The plane may have been flying from St. Cloud.
By the time bystanders arrived on the scene, the plane was missing the tail and a wing, and was engulfed in a “ball of flame.”
The plane had just been sold by a St. Cloud resident to a new owner.
Stuart Dahlberg, 52, his wife Ivelisse Morillo, and his mother, Mae Dahlberg were en route to visit family in Colorado when they were killed in the crash. Stuart Dahlberg was an experienced pilot.

While the upbeat “video below” compares basic features, the real world of aviation is focusing on a comparison of the problems noted.
A Delta Airlines Boeing 757 en route from Atlanta,GA to Seattle,WA (USA) with 185 people aboard apparently developed a cargo fire on Oct 21, 2013.
Pilots diverted diverted to Pasco Washington where they made a safe landing.
Emergency services responded to the scene which was apparently a heat sensor alarm. No fire was found.
The 757 was grounded at the Pasco airport. Some of the passengers were provided a charter bus to Seattle, some rented cars, and others waited for a Tuesday flight.

What: Emirates Airlines Airbus A380-800 en route from Bangkok to Hong Kong
Where: Hong Kong
When: Apr 7th 2012,
Why: Passengers on the Emirates flight disembarked on to the runway after a fast landing where two main tires burst.
Passengers smelled the burning rubber and reported that they saw sparks.
On landing, the brakes locked up, which pretty eliminated the tires and part of the wheel (termed an anti-skid failure.) As you can see in the snapshot, the wheels were ground flat by the friction.
The friction just pours off the pavement in the youtube clip. No injuries were reported.
South African Airways Flight SA286, an Airbus A340-313X, was en route from OR Tambo International Airport in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa, near the city of Johannesburg to Hong Kong International Airport when it encountered severe turbulence four hours from Hong Kong while over Malaysia. The plane suffered cabin damage.
Three crew and twenty-five passengers were tossed out of their seats and into the ceiling. THere were 163 passengers aboard. Fourteen ambulances waited at Chek Lap Kok airport to transport the injured to North Lantau Hospital, Princess Margaret Hospital and Yan Chai Hospital. Two people are still hospitalized.
Pilots continued to Hong Kong and made a priority landing.
The injured were taken off the plane and hospitalized.
Malaysian authorities will be assisting the Civil Aviation Department in the investigation.
*A priority landing means that the incident leads to the aircraft being given landing priority by the airport where it is about to land.
