KATHMANDU, Nepal — The bodies of all eight people on board the U.S.
Marine helicopter that crashed during a relief mission in earthquake-hit
Nepal have been recovered, Nepal’s army said Saturday.
The wreckage of the UH-1 “Huey” was found Friday following days of intense searching in the mountains northeast of the capital, Kathmandu. The first three charred bodies were retrieved the same day by Nepalese and U.S. military teams. The Nepalese army said in a statement Saturday that the remaining five were also recovered.
The aircraft, with six Marines and two Nepali soldiers on board, went missing while delivering aid on Tuesday.
