Survivor says he broke out of the window

A survivor of the US-Bangla airliner crash in Kathmandu said he was seated near the window and managed to break out of the window.

Nepali national Bohora, an employee of Raswita International Travels and Tours, is one of the few survivors as the Bangladeshi airliner crashed in Kathmandu, on Monday afternoon.

At least 50 out of 71 people on board the plane that came from Dhaka were killed.

Bohora spoke to local newspaper Kathmondu Post from the hospital.

He said there were 16 Nepalese passengers from various travel agencies on board the plane. They were returning to Kathmandu after attending a training session in Bangladesh.

He recalled that the plane suddenly shook violently and there was a loud bang afterwards.

He, however, mentioned that he had no recollection after he got out of the plane and someone took him to Sinamangal hospital.

He had received injuries to his head and legs.
