Two helicopters collided and crashed on the apron of Mount Everest in Nepal. A group of hikers from Taiwan witnessed this exciting process on the spot. Fortunately, only two members of the group were slightly injured and the nine tourists returned safely to Taiwan today.
Nepal On the morning of the 3rd, two helicopters collided and crashed on Mount Everest, resulting in one death and one injury. The passengers who were waiting in line at the spot to board the helicopter witnessed the tragic helicopter crash with their own eyes. This group of tourists from the Taiwanese tour group returned to Taiwan by flight today. Dentist Luo Zishan, who has won a medical contribution award, was at the scene at the time. He was still scared when talking about the incident.
Luo Zishan said that he participated in Sunny Travel Nepal EBC Hiking Customized Package to climb Mount Everest in Nepal. Originally they were scheduled to take a helicopter down the mountain from Peliki Helipad on the morning of the 3rd and return to Kathmandu. At that time, a helicopter had already landed and was parked on the left side of the square. He and his group members were going to climb the one on the left. While he was standing in front, waiting to board the plane, he took a picture of the helicopter landing on the right side.
Luo Zishan said that when the helicopter on the right was preparing to land, the propeller hit the helicopter on the left. When the helicopter crashed it collided with a helicopter on the ground. Within no time a lot of debris came out. He became so frightened that he immediately fell on the ground. Fortunately, the debris flew in the other direction and did not affect the group members. Two female members of the same group got injured after being pushed and falling while trying to escape. Luckily, they were only skin injuries.
Luo Zishan said that after the collision, the scene was filled with the smell of oil smoke. Everyone got scared of the second explosion. The team leader asked them to step back due to security reasons. Due to the accident causing air traffic control to be shut down on the apron, the journey down the mountain was significantly delayed, but in the end, the original journey was successfully completed.
Members of the group returning to Taiwan today include women who were injured in the crash. Recalling the situation at that time, he said that he saw two helicopters landing and wondered, if they had been so close, would they not have collided? Just this thought came to mind and the next moment both the helicopters collided with each other. Everyone present at the spot ran backwards. Due to being pushed by the people who were running behind the incident spot, her hand was also sprained and she fell. After the incident, many relatives and friends called to express concern, but local communication signals were poor. Now that I have finally returned to Taiwan, I want to go home as soon as possible to report to my relatives and friends that I am safe.
