Hopes of finding survivors from Nepal's worst air disaster in decades are fading, according to police. At least 68 people died when a flight from Kathmandu to the tourist town of Pokhara crashed and caught fire on Sunday morning. It is still unclear what caused the crash. Arnico Panday, a climate scientist and a central committee member of Nepal's Rastriya Swatantra Party, spoke to Newsday about what's known so far. He said the government should carry out "a thorough investigation of why certain airlines keep having crashes which affect Nepal's aviation reputation and tourism industry."
