Phones have a lot more tolerance than a human body under this circumstance. In the MH17 flight that Russian weapons shot down in Ukraine in 2014 from 10 km, phones were reported stolen from the crash site and answered after the crash.

Even people have survived falling from airliners. Longest fall record holder is currently at 10 km from a woman that fell out of a plane.

Also surprising lack of stutters or visible bitrate drops in the video.

it's a 2001 nokia

The clip could perhaps already have uploaded to the Cloud? I know mine is pretty bloody fast at doing that.

its a video stream/video call, silly

ikr, but when your iPhone accidentally slips from your front seat out onto the cement as you exit your car, the fuckin thing get obliterated.

They started getting rid of those rules, because they really didn't affect plane's safety at all: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-63786591

Pretty sure what it affected was just communication between the pilot and control tower.

Nah, phone/livestreaming had nothing to do with it at all.

I've always thought that if cell phones had even the slightest chance to cause a plane crash, the airlines wouldn't rely on the passengers to switch to airplane mode. They would take all the phones and put them in a closed safe for the duration of the flight.

Even if a phone could disrupt the plane, all of the actual "flying" stuff is mechanical/wired and will work no matter what. I think the actual worry was that phones could interfere with ATC radio

Phones can possibly only interfere with communication with the tower/ground network at max and that also barely happens these days. So no, doing a livestream didn't cause the crash.

ISIS has been trying for years to sneak working cell phones onto planes

I don't know if there would be any sleeping passengers so close to landing. Usually everyone wakes up as the landing gear comes out.

The flight was a 30 minute hop, you'd have to be damn tired.

There's a special place in hell for cameramen like this

Oh you meant 'Video of the ground'.

Thanks.

I read Nepal has had 27 crashes in 30 years, or something to that effect. Astonishingly poor

It won't

it deescalated quicker!

The caveat to that is if you're in a plane crash you already hit the lottery so to speak, you just won't be getting paid. The chances are in the millions to 1.

A plane carrying 68 passengers and four crew members crashed in the city of Pokhara, Nepal, on Sunday while trying to land. At least 68 were killed, according to the airline operating the plane and the country’s Civil Aviation Authority.

The ATR-72 plane, a twin-engine propeller model manufactured more than 15 years ago, was being operated by Yeti Airlines, on a roughly 30-minute flight from the capital, Kathmandu, to Pokhara, a picturesque vacation destination near the Annapurna mountains. A spokesman for Yeti Airlines confirmed the news of the crash and the number of people on board.

Videos on social media showed the plane engulfed by flames and black plumes of smoke at the crash site, where emergency responders were seen trying to retrieve victims.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal said in a statement that at least 68 people had died in the crash. A statement from Yeti Airlines cited the same figure.

In May last year, a plane carrying 22 people and operated by the Nepali airline Tara Air went down during a 20-minute flight from Pokhara to Jomsom, a tourist destination popular with trekkers. There were no survivors.

And in 2016, all 23 people on board were killed when another Pokhara-Jomsom flight, also operated by Tara Air, crashed shortly after takeoff.

For Nepal, one of the poorest nations in South Asia, tourism is a major source of foreign exchange and revenue, contributing at least 6.7 percent of the country’s gross domestic product. The industry, which is still rebounding from the coronavirus pandemic, employs more than a million people.

Of the 68 passengers on board Sunday’s flight, 53 were from Nepal, five from India, four from Russia, two from South Korea and one each from Australia, Argentina, France and Ireland, according to Nepal’s Civil Aviation Authority. The four crew members were all from Nepal.

Yeti Airlines Flight 691 took off from Kathmandu at around 10:30 a.m. Sunday. It lost contact with the airport in Pokhara about 20 minutes later, the Civil Aviation Authority said in a statement released on Sunday.

A spokesman for the airline said the plane had been supposed to land at the newly inaugurated Pokhara International Airport, which was built with a soft loan of $216 million from China. It was nearly there before it crash-landed in a gorge near the Seti River, he said.
