ORNE MP SUFFERS BROKEN WRIST AS ARRIVING HELICOPTER DOWNDRAFT BLOWS HER OVER AN MP who was part of a reception party for President Sarkozy received a broken wrist after his arriving
helicopter blew her over. Orne MP Sylvia Bassot was waiting to greet the president who was visiting a factory in the department. "I didn't appreciate the strength of the
downdraft," she said. "I didn't know what hit me. I was lifted up like a piece of straw, then I fell down on the concrete." She added: "There were others waiting for
the arrival but I was in the wrong place. I wasn't expecting that at all." Despite her injury Ms Bassot followed part of the presidential visit before getting an x-ray and having
her right arm put in plaster.
