State President Truong Tan Sang on July 7 visited the soldiers who were critically injured in the Russian-made MI-171 helicopter crash early on the same day.
The soldiers are suffering from very serious body burns and all are in intensive care at the National Burns Hospital in Hanoi.

The accident killed 16 people and injured five others.
The plane belongs to the Helicopter Regiment 916 of the Air Defence-Air Force Service’s Air Division 371.
