Everest record Chopper - Mystery solved!

Early this morning,Jamie McGuinness had another chopper sighting on Everest’s North Side: “While seeing part of the team off for the trek to ABC, at 7:25 - 7:27 am Nepali time we saw a helicopter again trying to land on the summit. From BC, quite a distance away, we didn’t get a photo and were not able to see if it landed or not, although it was again close. It seemed to try to stay in Nepali airspace."

This was the second landing attempt by the chopper, the previous caught on video last Friday by the Everest Valencia expedition (check the video on today's newscast).

The Indian Airforce Everest expedition were suspects, as the IAF holds the previous record, reaching an altitude of 25,150 ft November 2 last year at Saserkangri near Leh. But, reported Jamie, "the Indian Air Force team here seems to have zero idea about the whole thing.”
