Fire chief: Crocodiles and low tide made search difficult


SRI AMAN: Danger and risk are part and parcel of any search-and-rescue operation but working in a crocodile-infested river, especially in Sarawak, will certainly make anyone nervous.

The team deployed to find the wreckage and bodies of those who perished in the helicopter tragedy came across some 30 crocodiles in Batang Lupar, which is within the search area.
