Inside Scoop: Morning Edition

Inside Scoop: Morning Edition
There was a plane crash in the Himalaya mountains this morning. Our correspondent in Nepal is with me by satellite to give us more. What does it look like over there?

Well, you can see behind me the Himalayan mountain range. You can see that it is very jagged and rocky and could pose a hazard to pilots.

Is that smoke up there from burning fuel?

No, that's a cloud. And that black spot is a cave. We already checked. But it is likely that the plane came into contact with these mountains at high altitude, and you can see how their peaks are snow capped.

So do you think there may be survivors?

We don't know yet. There's always hope. Maybe the snow cushioned the impact of the collision and kept the jet fuel from exploding. Maybe the plane is gone or maybe it's just helpless, with its nose stuck in a glacier, its passengers and crew desperately holding out for rescue.
