An oldie but goody... "...out of fuel".

I do find "infestation" to be an odd choice of words.

It reminds me... I need to exterminate.

On a similar note... I wonder if Mr.Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader M Venkaiah Naidu owned or leased that 'copter?

Betcha he's got more Rupees than the whole population of the Gaya district turned upside down and shaken.

( 1 Indian Rupee = 0.02292 US Dollar [1-29-05] )

The locals have already made pots and pans out of the chopper.

It's a good thing.

Assembly Elections: Naxals blow up Venkaiah Naidu's chopper

PTI | January 29, 2005 | 18:21 IST

Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday had a miraculous escape when his helicopter was forced to land in Bihar's Naxal-infested Gaya district due to a technical snag. <...>

Naidu was on his way to Jharkhand for election campaigning.

The helicopter landed in the Pundari area at around 1500 IST after it ran out of fuel. <...>

But when no security personnel reached the site for over an hour, Naidu left the place on the two-wheeler of a party worker, who had reached the spot on hearing the news.

As soon as Naidu left, suspected Naxals threw a petrol bomb at the helicopter and blew it up. <...>
