Saw a flash of newsreel TV a day or so ago, in which a relief worker was complaining about the difficulties of getting supplies forward by road, because of surface damage and rock falls.
She was in a wide valley, unpopulated as far as I could see. Struck me (as one absolutely ignorant of helicopter operations), that a Chinook could prove very handy indeed for the job (without needing to blow any roofs off).
