Amid low visibility, a Russian helicopter successfully
delivered a large bulldozer and other eight sets of big machineries near the
swelling Tangjiashan lake, in order to dig a diverting channel to prevent a
flood, said Minister of Water Resources Chen Lei.
Quake lakes were formed after landslides blocked rivers.
Chen hoped the weather will allow the helicopter to deliver
more big machinery to dig channels to drain the barrier.
