The Iraqi air force and fighters with the Kurdish peshmerga carried out a dramatic rescue mission Monday at Mount Sinjar, taking supplies to desperate Yazidis and bringing some on board the helicopter to make it safely out.A CNN crew was on the flight that took diapers, milk, water and food to the site where thousands of people have been driven by ISIS, which calls itself the Islamic State.CNN's Ivan Watson, who was on the chopper, described the mission as "heroic." Teams hurled out bags and boxes of food from as high as 50 feet before approaching the ground."We landed on several short occasions, and that's where -- amid this explosion of dust and chaos -- these desperate civilians came racing towards the helicopter, throwing their children on board the aircraft. The crew was just trying to pull up as many people as possible," Watson said.Soon, some of the trapped families -- including babies and the elderly -- were packed into the flight. ISIS terrorists began shooting at the chopper, forcing an active live-fire response from the chopper crew.Embedded footage from CNN
