Missing U.S. Marine Helicopter Found in Nepal; No Signs of Survivors
The wreckage of the U.S. helicopter that vanished earlier this week in Nepal with six Marine and two Nepalese soldiers on board was found early Friday morning. Three bodies were discovered near the crash, and a U.S. military spokesman said there are no signs anyone survived.
“It is unlikely there are any survivors at this time,” U.S. Marine Lt. Gen. John Wissler told CNN.
The UH-1Y Huey helicopter disappeared Tuesday night—just after a powerful 7.3 earthquake struck Nepal—while delivering aid near the village Charikot. The U.S. has been helping with relief efforts in Nepal following the devastating 7.9 quake that hit the region on April 25, killing at least 8,100 people.
