by Guest on Jun 24, 2008 03:07 PM

I am the Pilot of Helicopter of Trans Bharat Aviation, flyin on Phata-Kedarnath Sector, We got the news at 1030 PM yesterday, Today took off at around First Light 0515 AM, There are more bodies still below snow, I dropped Rescue Persons at the Avalanche site, Brought Injured to Joshimath Military Hospital, Things are really bad there, It will take time to find out exact number of people still burried under the snow, their belongings are scattered all over, almost till 1000 Feet down in the 'Nala' of avalanche. Few died even during evacuation and in hospital at Joshimath. I feel pevilaged to be of some help to the needy people.
