LDP Posted May 28, 2003 Report Posted May 28, 2003 Just caught the tail end of a CNN report of a helicopter crash on Mount Everest with some footage of the aircraft going down and then debris. I think that they reported 2 fatalities. Quote
rainman Posted May 28, 2003 Report Posted May 28, 2003 It was an Mi-17. Two dead and six injured an the crash. Very near the Everest basecamp around 18000ft or so. Two Nepalese were killed. Not too many other details. Quote
