An old photograph of an airplane crash was shared on several news reports and social media posts, claiming it to be that of Yeti Airlines’ 9N-ANC ATR-72 aircraft that crashed in Nepal’s Pokhara, killing 68 people on Sunday. The PTI Fact Check team investigated the source of the photograph and found it to be from a plane crash that occurred in Kathmandu in September 2012. News reports and social media posts linked the 11-year-old photograph to the Pokhara crash. At least 69 people were killed when the passenger plane with 72 people, including five Indians, on board crashed into a river gorge while landing at the newly-opened airport in central Nepal’s resort city of Pokhara in the Himalayan nation’s deadliest aviation accident in over 30 years.
