Search teams have retrieved the flight data and cockpit voice recorders of a passenger plane that plummeted into a gorge on approach to a new airport in the foothills of the Himalayas.
At least 69 of the 72 people aboard were killed, and officials believe the three missing are also dead.
Rescuers combed through the debris scattered down a 300-metre-deep gorge for them, as investigators looked for the cause of Nepal's deadliest plane crash in 30 years.
Last night, relatives and friends were still gathered outside a local hospital, some shouting at officials to speed up the post-mortems so they could hold funerals for their loved ones.
It's still not clear what caused the crash, which took place less than a minute's flight from the airport on a mild day with little wind.
