Helicopter comes crashing down, near river in Kedarnath, heres what happened
A helicopter has crashed into a river in Kedarnath. The helicopter, which was malfunctioning, was being transported by another helicopter when it fell into the river near Tharu Camp. Fortunately, there were no casualties reported. The malfunctioning helicopter had made an emergency landing on May 24, and while being transported by an MI-17 helicopter, it crashed into the river.
District Tourism Officer Rahul Chaubey says, "There was a plan to take the helicopter to Gauchar airstrip on Saturday, with the help of Mi-17 aircraft, for repair. As soon as it covered a little distance, the Mi-17 started losing balance due to the weight of the helicopter and wind, due to which the helicopter had to be dropped near Tharu camp. There was no passenger or luggage on the helicopter. The rescue team reached the spot as soon as the information was received. The team is inspecting the situation."
