Did I hear right?

| "Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board." |

Nine survive military helicopter crash in Colombia
|
|
Nine people - five soldiers and four crewmen - survived the crash of a military helicopter in the northern Colombian province of Cordoba, the army said.
The Black Hawk helicopter went down Saturday in the San Jeronimo mountains, army aviation division commander Gen. Javier Rey said.
'The crew and the passengers are fine,' Rey said.
The helicopter was providing support to a brigade fighting the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, guerrilla group, drug traffickers and other criminal organizations, the general said.
The accident occurred after the helicopter refueled, Rey said, adding that the aircraft had problems 'with a crosswind' that forced it to the ground.
The crew's skill was key in preventing the helicopter from being completely destroyed, the general said.
The helicopter was damaged in the accident, but it can be repaired and return to service, Rey said. |
