The wreckage of the Nepal helicopter that went down last week was finally found on the morning of Monday the 25th. After rescue crews were constantly hampered by bad weather, a helicopter and ground crews were finally able to find the wreckage 2 km southwest of Ghunsa, a village in Taplejung district, about 300 km (190 miles) east of the capital, Katmandu. There were no survivors of the crash and among the dead are 17 Nepalese, a Finnish diplomat, two Americans, a Canadian an Australian and two Russians. The helicopter was chartered by the World Wildlife Fund. No word yet on what the direct cause of the crash was.
