CASE STUDY

In April 2010, a Bus with 15 passengers was travelling from Phutzero to Zunheboto in Nagaland in the early hours of the day. At around 4 AM, the bus lost its track and rolled down over 200 feet.

Within a record time of 45 minutes help reached the rock-strewn challenging accident site in the form of a Helicopter with Paramedics. An unplanned operation with low visibility, challenging terrain and no pre-decided landing ground, all of which made this an even more demanding task.

The helicopter spotted a football ground to land near the accident site and initiated a speedy evacuation process. By 5.30 am, 7 critically injured patient were hospitalized. A return trip was made to bring the remaining survivors to the hospital.
