Accidents - Disasters - Fires - Floods - Tragedies

Nov. 11, 1970 - Willing Hands: Patuikhali, East Pakistan. Pakistanis were all too willing to unload stores from a helicopter from Britain's 847 Naval Air Squadron after it had landed at Patuikhali with relief supplies for survivors of East Pakistan's cyclone disaster. The helicopter flew in from the British assault ship Intrepid, one of the four-vessel British combined services task force which anchored in the Bay of Bengal, November 245th, to begin operation Burlap for the relief of the cyclone survivors
