This video grab from an AFPTV video taken on December 21, 2021 shows General Serge Gelle (C), Secretary of State for police, transported on an emergency bed surrounded by soldiers on the runway to the plane in Antananarivo. A Madagascan minister was one of two survivors to have swum some 12 hours to shore December 21, 2021 after their helicopter crashed off the island's northeastern coast, authorities said.
A search was still ongoing for two other passengers after the crash on December 20, 2021 whose cause was not immediately clear, police and port authorities said.
Serge Gelle, the country's secretary of state for police, and a fellow policeman reached land in the seaside town of Mahambo separately on Tuesday morning, apparently after ejecting themselves from the aircraft, port authority chief Jean-Edmond Randrianantenaina said.
