The easiest to move is the army (people), and that's why they were there first before the helicopters. Before they make any big move like using 120 helicopters, they need to assess the feasibility. I guess they need to find out if helis can actually be helpful, i.e. OK to take off and land, maintanence/repairs, fuel, pilots, etc. It'll be stupid if they sent 120 helis but they can't do anything. Moreover, helicopter is just a fast way of transportation, but what China needs now is people/machines to dig up the debris to save people. I don't think a heli can help that much in that matter.
I'm sure if it was an easy process, they would have done it already... |
