A passenger on the surviving aircraft involved in the Gold Coast helicopter tragedy tried to alert their pilot of the incoming chopper, seconds before its rotor hit the cockpit window.
In the helicopter where the footage was filmed, five people – including James – were injured by broken glass. Four people died and three others were seriously injured in the other helicopter. In a new statement released on Wednesday evening, the two couples onboard the flight in the footage said they were “blessed to have been spared” but expressed their “deepest sympathies and sincere condolences” to the injured and deceased victims.“Our gratitude goes out to every bystander who ran to help, every police officer and emergency services personnel who helped us with our immediate needs keeping us calm and making us comfortable. We saw mateship in action.
