Unlikely anyone survived Marine helicopter crash, US commander says
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan — U.S. and Nepalese searchers found the wreckage of a Marine Corps UH-1Y helicopter that went missing during earthquake relief efforts in Nepal, and an American commander said Friday that it was unlikely anyone survived the crash.
The aircraft — carrying six Marines and two Nepalese soldiers — went missing Tuesday while delivering aid in the Himalayan nation following a magnitude-7.8 earthquake on April 25.
