As the plane neared a recently constructed airfield in the tourist destination of Pokhara, Nepal, a 72-seater passenger plane operated by Yeti Airlines crashed.
A man can be seen capturing the plane's attempt to land in the 97-second Facebook Live video that Sonu Jaiswal is thought to have taken.
"On January 10, Sonu and his three buddies left for Nepal. His major goal was to show respect because his wish to have a son—who is now six months old—had come true.
The European Union has prohibited Nepali aircraft from using its airspace since 2013, citing safety concerns, due to the country's history of aviation disasters.
In the meanwhile, Yeti Airlines has cancelled all scheduled flights for Monday in honour of the victims of the jet disaster.
According to the Associated Press, at least one witness claimed to have heard calls for aid coming from within the burning wreck.
The rescue operations were disrupted, according to Bishnu Tiwari, a local who went to the crash site to help look for bodies.
