No survivors in Peru helicopter crash
All 14 people aboard a helicopter that went down in the mountains of southern Peru, including eight South Koreans, are dead, authorities in Peru have said.
“We are en route to the accident site where the helicopter and the bodies are located,” prosecutor Cesar Guevara, of the town of Urcos in the southern department of Cusco, told N television by phone.
Guevara said a large team of officials were on the way to pick up the bodies of those killed.
On board the Sikorsky S-58 ET which went missing on Wednesday were eight South Koreans, a Czech, a Swede, a Dutch citizen and three Peruvians – two of them crew – according to helicopter owner HeliCusco.
However it could take up to four hours to reach the crash scene, located high in the mountains some 4,900 metres (16,000 feet) above sea level, Guevara said.
The aircraft vanished in a mountain region, on a flight from Mazuco, in Madre de Dios department, to Cusco.
Rain and snow had been major obstacles to the rescue workers until now.
The helicopter lost contact with its base in Hualla Hualla between the towns of Ocongate and Marcapata, near the snowcapped Apu Colque Cruz peak.
In Seoul, the foreign ministry said the South Koreans were engineers and officials from four South Korean companies on their way back to Cusco after conducting aerial surveillance on a possible site for a hydroelectric project near Puno, in southern Peru.
Two officials from the South Korean embassy in Lima were in Cusco to monitor the search and rescue operations.

i like what you’ve done
I’m not sure why but this weblog is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Heya great blog! Does running a blog similar to this take a great deal of work? I have virtually no knowledge of computer programming but I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow, if you have any suggestions or techniques for new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic but I just needed to ask. Thanks a lot!
Wonderful put up. Quite useful info.
I have been reading this blog for the fantastic although. Keep up the wonderful job you are doing here.
Hey There. I found your weblog the use of msn. That is an extremely smartly written article. I’ll be sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful info. Thank you for the post. I will certainly comeback.
Some tips i have seen in terms of computer system memory is always that there are specs such as SDRAM, DDR and
so on, that must go with the features of the motherboard.
If the personal computer’s motherboard is fairly current and there are no operating-system issues, changing the memory literally takes under sixty minutes. It’s one of several easiest laptop or computer upgrade procedures one can envision.
Thanks for giving your ideas.
I’ve learned some new things via your weblog. One other thing I’d like to say is that newer computer os’s tend to allow additional memory for use, but they in addition demand more memory simply to function. If an individual’s
computer could not handle extra memory and
also the newest software program requires that ram increase, it can
be the time to shop for a new Computer system. Thanks
