Fatalities include 40-year-old pilot, a 57-year-old woman and 65-year-old man from the UK and a 36-year-old woman from NSW
Two others on board the helicopter – a 33-year-old woman and nine-year-old boy from Geelong West in Victoria – were also transported to hospital with serious injuries.
“An amazing pilot,” former colleague Lucy Kuhn said. “Always so kind, helpful, and supportive. A true gentleman, and always willing to lend a hand.” “It has been on a sandbar. Exactly whether it’s hit the water or exactly what depth it was, I guess, is what we’ll determine based on the time of day that it occurred and exactly where on the sandbar.”
“Whilst we did get a lot of that perishable evidence off the site last night and the stuff that we really do rely on, a lot of that electronic recording equipment, we now have a painstaking job of trying to recreate exactly what’s occurred in the lead-up to this tragic start to the new year.”
