In this video posted by a local news portal shikharnews.com on Tuesday shows the flight of US-Bangla Airlines flying very low (at least 200 feet  from ground), prior to the crash, at Gagalphedi- around 18 km (road distance) North-East of Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu.

The video shows it nearly crashed at a hill. At this point the passenger on board the aircraft, before the crash, said they saw tree and bushes from the window. The video shows the aircraft making a tilt prior to gaining altitude with white light visible from the wing tip that illuminate the terrain.

Locals were heard saying— "The aircraft has lost its way. It is flying. It is flying. Which airlines is this? It looks like a new plane."

The video shows that the aircraft had extended the landing gear down indicating that it was preparing to land.
