Andhra Pradesh Rain: A dramatic video of the winching operation shows men clinging to a JCB earthmover as the violent waters of a river swirl dangerously around after incessant downpour.
In scenes that could easily be mistaken for an action blockbuster, the Indian Air Force conducted a daring rescue operation yesterday to save the lives of people who were stranded after heavy rainfall in Andhra Pradesh.
A dramatic video of the winching operation shows men clinging to a JCB earthmover as the violent waters of a river swirl dangerously around after incessant downpour.
A man can be seen using a zipline after which he is rescued by IAF'S Mi-17 helicopter while others wait, hoping to be rescued.
The rescue was a stunning display of bravery as rain fury unfolds in Andhra Pradesh where 17 people have been reported dead and over 100 are missing after floods.
