Narrative:
One of the three Ugandan helicopters that went missing over Kenyan airspace on Sunday 12 August 2012 has reportedly been sighted within Mount Kenya forest.

Military Spokesman Bogita Ongeri said the soldiers in one of the located helicopters were receiving treatment at a military base in Nanyuki.

“Seven of them have been rescued and are being treated,” he said.

A pilot of Tropic Air Ben Simpson who had responded to emergency calls rescued them.

“The chopper crashed southern part of Mt Kenya and all the seven people on board are alive but the captain has serious back injuries,” Simpson told The Standard digital from Nanyuki airstrip.

“The chopper’s body is badly damaged but the engine is intact. The propellers shafts are gone,” Simpson said.
