Emergency on helicopter as Nepal quake victim stops breathing
Kathmandu, Nepal, May 1 (NsNewsWire) –“Please take her,” people cried over the roar of the helicopter propellers as the flight was about to take off from one of the Nepali districts worst-hit by the earthquake.
The Indian helicopter had just dropped aid to people forced to fend for themselves for days after the quake, in Sindhupalchok, east of the capital Kathmandu.
CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta and a crew were aboard the flight, packed with instant noodles and tarps being delivered to people who no longer had — or trusted — a roof over their heads.
The pilots hadn’t expected to take on any passengers, but as they were about to take off, a woman lying on a makeshift straw stretcher was thrust toward the door.
