At the moment the Nepalese army is flying choppers in and out of this tiny landing strip
every couple of minutes. It's the entrance to the Chilimay hydropower plant where they focus
their search and rescue efforts and they're trying to bring in personnel and equipment.
But as you can see it is incredibly complicated, very difficult and very dangerous. They can't
afford to make the slightest slip and the weather has not been good. So they're trying to build
a land connection from just around there to get in that heavy equipment they need.
They're trying to do the same thing from this side of the river but on both banks it's very
complicated because this is incredibly firm. The banks of the river were washed away more than a
but at the moment they still think there are survivors inside.
So they're doing everything they possibly can.
