@sunil karu - why not thank the pilots who conducted the roof top landing successfully? If not for them this would not have been a success.

Good people are working hard. However, this pictures clearly indicate the poor safety of the workers. GOSL files to provide that

Soldiers, Pilots and the like of our armed forces are dedicated men and women. Good job.

Why is this even news? This type of 'medivac' evacuation happens every day in advanced countries, all hospitals have roof top helipads for easy access.
