Feuertaufe am Everest

Helicopter rescues at altitudes over 7,000 meters are dangerous. But now there is also a rescue station in the Himalayas. The documentary series 'The Mountain Rescuers in the Himalayas' tells of flying at the limit and the fate of pilots and mountaineers in the midst of the eight-thousanders.
