Three charred bodies and wreckage of a US Marine chopper that went missing while delivering aid in quake-hit Nepal were on Friday recovered in a remote hilly area as death toll from the fresh quake reached 117 and five fresh tremors kept people on edge in the battered nation.
The missing US Marine Corps chopper carrying two Nepalese Army personnel and six Marines onboard has been spotted in the mountainous area of Ghorthali area of Sindhupalchok District, 100 kms east of Kathmandu, according to Nepal Army. “The wreckage of the helicopter was found in pieces and there are no chances of any survivors,” Nepal’s Defense Secretary Iswori Poudyal said.
