BBC: Nepal plane crash: Pilot Didnt Report Anything Untoward, Official Says

Sadly all 72 souls on board were lost. From a video it looks like a sharp roll to the left at low altitude. As the black boxes were recovered hopefully the cause(s) will come to light in time. RIP.

The in-flight vid could indeed be fake, but from the quoted BBC article:
Abhishek Pratap Shah, a former lawmaker in Nepal, told Indian news channel NDTV that rescuers had recovered the phone on which the video was found from the plane's wreckage. "It [the video clip] was sent by one of my friends, who received it from a police officer. It is a real record," Mr Shah told NDTV.

Anup Joshi said that the "mountains were clear and visibility was good", adding there was a light wind and "no issue with weather".
There were 72 passnngers and crew aboard the Yeti Airlines flight from Kathmandu to the tourist town of Pokhara which crashed on Sunday. No one is believed to have survived.
Mobile phone footage showed the plane rolling sharply as it approached the airport. It then hit the ground in the gorge of the Seti River, just over a kilometer from the airport.
