UN Helicopter Crash in Nepal

Incident
According media reports ten bodies have been pulled
from the wreckage of a UN helicopter that crashed in
bad weather in Nepal. The helicopter was returning
with UN arms inspectors from a camp in Eastern Nepal.
Somewhat surprisingly there seems to be some confusion as to how many passengers were on board. In my experience with UN helicopter flights passenger manifests were checked repeatedly. At the time it I thought it was annoying. Now it just seems prudent.
