Australian helicopter crash.

Post by scorpiomikey »

Over the new year a pair of sea-world helicopters collided in Australia's gold coast.
1 helicopter crashed, the other was landed. 4 people dead, 3 critical.
New photos have emerged, and the pilot of the helicopter that landed did a damn good job.
Im not sure which part of the other helicopter hit first, but the front end is pretty mangled.
Theres video footage, but ill let you guys look that up as it could be a bit distressing to some.

Yeah that was bad. The video is not for the faint of heart for sure.

I saw that - quite a skilled pilot to land that chopper. Sad
Thanks,

Hmmm. One was landing, the other taking off. Somebody was in someone’s blind spot. Sad tragedy....
