A 747 cargo jet chartered by Samaritan's Purse carried the emergency aid from Charlotte, North Carolina, halfway around the world to Chengdu, the capital of the hard-hit Sichuan province. Chinese officials said it was the first privately chartered relief flight from the U.S. to arrive in China. In addition to medical supplies, blankets, and other items, the airlift included 1,140 rolls of reinforced plastic and six large water filtration systemsenough to provide temporary housing and clean water for thousands of suffering families.
