Photos and video footage from the tourists who miraculously survived a fatal mid-air collision on the Gold Coast will be key to the investigation into Monday's helicopter disaster as experts say a final report into the crash could take 'years'.
abc.net.au/news/qld-gold-coast-helicopter-crash-camera-footage/101827424Photos and video footage from tourists who survived a fatal mid-air collision on the northern Gold Coast will be key to the investigation into Monday's helicopter disaster that claimed four lives.
Police sources say the phones of passengers from the helicopter that was landed by pilot Michael James are now being examined as detectives and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau comb through hours of video footage sourced from witnesses, passengers and the aircraft involved in the tragic accident.
Aviation expert Keith Tonkin said recovered photos and video footage taken by passengers may provide information that's not obvious from electronic data available from the helicopters. He said the cameras would have been either facing forward, looking out at the scenery or recording passengers from inside the aircraft.
