The families of five Nepalese civilians aboard a US military helicopter that crashed on a rescue mission in Nepal, are seeking compensation. They are angry that it was only confirmed Friday that their family members were aboard, although the crash happened last month and the deaths of the six US marines and two Nepalese soldiers was confirmed within days.
They say they have had no contact from the US government, or their own.
The marines killed were from Camp Pendleton, San Diego.

Amir Katwal, who lost his father in the crash, said he loaded his father and other people injured in the earthquake in the helicopter, which appeared to be overloaded. Two soldiers got off and loaded the people, and they all got inside the helicopter that had no seats and was crowded. I was just happy that my wounded father was going to a hospital, said Katwal.
