At 11:50 PM on May 24, a Boeing 747 loaded with all kinds of relief materials arrives at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport from the United States. The plane is chartered by Samaritan's Purse, a well-known charity organization in the US, and it is also the first private chartered plane that received government approval to transport relief materials to quake-affected regions.
