North Korea to return survivor and crew bodies in helicopter crash
North Korea told U S officials it will return the sole survivor, CWO Glenn Schwanke, and the bodies of three crewmen killed when their CH47 Chinook was shot down after straying into North Korean airspace. The move aims to avert a complicated situation, with a joint Military Armistice Commission meeting planned to determine timing and method of return. The dead are CWO Joseph Miles, Sgt Robert Haynes, and Sgt Ron Wells. The incident was described as an unintentional intrusion by the U N Command. North Korea said the settlement will be lenient to avoid further tension. The crash occurred near Samilpo-ri, Kosong, about 2.8 miles north of the DMZ.
