34-year-old dancer among those killed in plane crash in Nepal because pilot pulled wrong lever – World

A 34-year-old British dancer was one of the fatal victims of the Yeti Airlines plane crash in Nepal last year. According to an investigation, the accident was caused by a mistake by the pilot, who made a mistake and pulled the wrong lever.

According to the DailyMailRuan Crighton, from Essex, was a physiotherapy student and was living in Nepal with his French girlfriend whilst completing an internship at a spinal injuries clinic in Kathmandu.

He had already toured Europe as a professional dancer. The dancer had already studied and worked in London, Finland and Slovakia. He studied at Brentwood’s Central School of Dance and later graduated from the Central School of Ballet in London in 2008.

The tragedy happened the day after his birthday.

The inquiry has now concluded that the plane crashed after one of the pilots mistakenly changed the angle of the propeller instead of the angle of the plane’s wing flaps. Yeti Airlines Flight 691 was carrying 68 passengers, including 15 foreigners, and four crew members. 72 people died in what was the country’s deadliest accident since 1992.

The cause of Ruan Crighton’s death were brute force injuries to the head, chest and abdomen, the inquest found.

The inquest into Crighton’s death was attended by his parents and siblings who, according to the dailymail, They hugged when the verdict was read.

According to the dailymail, Hazel Smith, director of ballet at Brentwood, said the school was “devastated.”
