A U.S. military contingent arrived just before sunset Sunday, more than a
week after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake, bringing massive cargo planes and a
team of four Osprey helicopters to join the international aid effort at
Nepals international airport.
.
The planes were allowed to land despite a temporary ban on large aircraft
instituted on Friday after the influx of flights carrying aid began to
take a toll on the airports single runway, an airport spokesman said. The
U.S. planes complied with new weight restrictions.
.
China and India have already flown in aircraft and other aid. Scores of
countries, including the United States, have sent search-and-rescue teams,
which remarkably continue to find survivors in the rubble.
.
Several people were reported rescued on Sunday.
.
The U.S. military response to the earthquake was delayed because of
vetting and was designed to be minimal, officials said.
.
We want to stay as small as possible here, said Marine Brig. Gen. Paul
Kennedy, who greeted the pilots.
.
By Monday, the military will have delivered three Huey and 10 Osprey
helicopters and a team of 65 U.S. service members thats expected to grow
to as many as 400, Kennedy said. The operation, which Kennedy said will
last at least a month, is expected to cost at least $10 million.
.
Why are we doing it? said U.S. Ambassador to Nepal Peter W. Bodde, who
welcomed the first pilot after he touched down. Because theyve always been
a good friend. Weve had development programs here for 60 years. Were the
United States of America, and its the right thing to do.
.
Nepals capital was still rattled by aftershocks. So far, officials say,
the quake has killed more than 7,250 people and injured 14,267.
Authorities have said they expect the death toll to increase as they reach
remote areas and dig through rubble.
.
The U.S. helicopters will help, arriving airmen said Sunday.
