All 13 occupants were killed.[1] AccidentThe following is a statement from PACOM: "On 12 May, at approximately 10 p.m. JST, a UH-1Y Huey with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 469 in support of Joint Task Force 505 was declared missing while supporting Operation Sahayogi Haat." Nepal’s army, struggling with the aftermath of a 7.8-magnitude earthquake that hit on 25 April, had deployed about 400 troops into rocky, forested terrain after the US helicopter was reported missing.[2] A news release from III Marine Expeditionary Force, based in Okinawa, Japan stated that the chosen route, which may have been made because one or more of the injured was in need of urgent treatment, took the UH-1Y Huey helicopter for a brief period over unfamiliar terrain in unstable weather.[3] The helicopter crashed in rugged terrain about 8 miles north of Charikot on a mission to evacuate casualties caused by the April 2015 Nepal earthquake.[4] AircraftThe helicopter had arrived in Nepal on May 5. As part of Operation Sahayogi Haat, the U.S. military contributed three Marine Corps UH-1Y Huey helicopters, four Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, four Air Force C-17 Globemaster III, four Air Force C-130 Hercules and four Marine Corps KC-130J Hercules aircraft to the relief effort.[5] Passengers and crewThe flight crew comprised two US Marines pilots. On board were also four other US Marines staff, two Nepalese soldiers and five injured civilians in need of urgent treatment.[6][7][8] AftermathAccording to CNN, then Nepali Prime Minister Sushil Koirala said "You know, our terrain is so ... difficult, that is why (it crashed). We feel so sorry for that."[9] In honour of the fallen, the Heritage Room of the U.S. Embassy, in Kathmandu, Nepal was renamed to “Vengeance Hall” after the crashed helicopter.[10] On May 15 an "Open Letter" from the People of Nepal remembering the Marines was published. It was thereafter replied to by Peter W. Bodde, Ambassador of the United States of America to Nepal.[11] InvestigationThe helicopter crash was attributed to the crew’s decision to fly the most direct route to Kathmandu. The chosen course required a brief period over unfamiliar terrain with unstable meteorological conditions [12] and was necessary “due to a real or perceived urgency” concerning the condition of the injured civilians.[13] It was reported that the aircraft "was enveloped by rapidly developing clouds or lifted into a cloud by rising air currents. As they attempted to maneuver out of the weather conditions, they lost visual reference with the terrain and impacted the ground."[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.helis.com/database/accidents/|title=Helicopter Accidents – Helicopter Database|work=helis.com|accessdate=9 July 2015}} {{Aviation accidents and incidents in 2015}}{{coord missing|Nepal}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Charikot Helicopter Crash, 2015}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/15/wreckage-us-military-helicopter-found-nepal |title=Wreckage of US military helicopter found in Nepal |accessdate= October 9, 2017}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2015/11/09/marines-release-findings-of-fatal-nepal-helo-crash/|title=Marines release findings of fatal Nepal helo crash|author=|work=Marine Corps Times|accessdate=9 October 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2015/05/17/asia/us-helicopter-found-nepal/index.html|title=Marines died helping hard-to-reach quake victims|author=|work=CNN|accessdate=9 October 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.marines.mil/News/NewsDisplay/tabid/3258/Article/589642/jtf-505-deactivates-after-operation-sahayogi-haat.aspx |title=JTF 505 deactivates after Operation Sahayogi Haat |author= |date=May 26, 2015 |website=Marines |publisher=U.S. Marine Corps |accessdate= May 29, 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.usni.org/2015/05/12/marine-uh-1y-helicopter-missing-in-nepal|title=Updated: Marine UH-1Y Helicopter Missing in Nepal, Aerial Search to Begin at Daybreak|work=USNI News|accessdate=9 July 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.oafnation.com/news-1/2015/5/17/nepal-helo-crash-officials-identify-marines-and-soldiers-involved|title=Nepal Helo Crash: Officials Identify Marines and Soldiers involved|work=#OAF|accessdate=9 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150711080244/http://www.oafnation.com/news-1/2015/5/17/nepal-helo-crash-officials-identify-marines-and-soldiers-involved|archive-date=2015-07-11|dead-url=yes|df=}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://medium.com/war-is-boring/u-s-marines-faced-dangers-in-nepal-before-deadly-crash-41d202bfd207|title=U.S. Marines Faced Dangers in Nepal Before Deadly Crash|author=Joseph Trevithick|work=Medium|accessdate=9 July 2015}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2015/05/17/asia/us-helicopter-found-nepal/index.html|title=Marines died helping hard-to-reach quake victims|author=|work=CNN|accessdate=9 October 2017}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.helis.com/database/news/vengeance_hall/|title=Fallen Marines to be Memorialized at US Embassy in Nepal|date=November 3, 2015 |accessdate=May 31, 2017}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=https://medium.com/@amrit_sharma/open-letter-to-the-us-marines-from-the-people-of-nepal-ea9eaa68ad07 |first1=Amrit |last1=Sharma |title=Open Letter To The US Marines From The People of Nepal |date=May 15, 2015 |accessdate=May 31, 2015}} 12. ^{{Cite web|title=Accident Description|url=https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=176077|accessdate=25 September 2017|publisher=Aviation Safety Network|date=30 May 2017}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/08/world/asia/marine-helicopter-crash-nepal.html|title=Route Decision Led to U.S. Helicopter Crash in Nepal, Marines Say|author=|work=New York Times|accessdate=9 October 2017}} 3 : Aviation accidents and incidents in 2015|Aviation accidents and incidents in Nepal|2015 in Nepal |
