Bodies retrieved from US chopper in Nepal

RESCUERS have recovered the bodies of all those aboard a US Marine Corps helicopter that crashed in Nepal during an earthquake relief mission.
"EIGHT bodies have been recovered," the Nepal Army said on Saturday.
"The chopper was carrying two Nepalese Army personnel and six US Marines onboard. All bodies are not recognisable." The aircraft was discovered on Friday in remote and rugged terrain between Dolakha and Sindupalchowk districts, in the north-eastern region. US officials are still investigating the cause of the accident. The UH-IY Huey helicopter went missing during a relief mission on Tuesday in the Dolakha district, the epicentre of a 7.3-magnitude earthquake that killed 117 people. It was the second earthquake in less than a month to hit the Himalayan country. More than 8,300 died in an 7.8-magnitude quake that struck Nepal on April 25.
