Fact Check- 

We started our investigation by running a simple reverse image search on Google, with the key frames of the video and whose results led us to the shorts posted by The Economic Times on Jan 15, 2023. The clip’s caption read:” Nepal plane crash: Moment When Yeti Airlines aeroplane crashes in Pokhara“

We looked further into the web and found the same video posted on twitter also by many users on 15 January 2023 with the caption “Video of what seems to be moments before the crash of #ATR72 carrying 72 passengers near #PokharaAirport”

Thus, it is clear that the viral video does not show the recent airplane crash in Nepal. The ATR 72, operated by privately owned Yeti Airlines, crashed just before landing in the tourist city of Pokhara on 15 January 2023 in one of Nepal’s worst airplane accidents in 30 years. There were 72 people on the twin-engine aircraft including two infants, four crew and 15 foreign nationals. There were no survivors

Conclusion-Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the viral video to be False. The viral video does not show the recent plane crash in Nepal. The video shows the Yeti Airlines plane crash that occurred in January 2023.
