Recovery teams in Nepal say it appears there are no survivors following the crash of a U.S. military helicopter earlier this week. Government officials say three bodies have been found in the burned wreckage found earlier today near Nepal’s border with China.
The chopper carrying six Marines and two Nepalese soldiers, went missing Tuesday while delivering aid to victims of this week’s massive earthquake.
