Two British nationals, believed to be a husband and wife, were among four people killed when two helicopters collided midair near Australia’s Gold Coast on Monday, police said Tuesday.
Investigators believe one helicopter was taking off while the other was landing, authorities said Monday. One crashed on a sand bank near the shore, with photos showing the aircraft upside down, while the other helicopter was able to land safely. All deceased and seriously injured victims were in the helicopter that crashed. Six people in the other helicopter suffered only minor injuries. The pilot and three passengers, ages 36 to 65, died at the scene, according to Queensland state police.
” The helicopter taking off had been airborne for fewer than 20 seconds before the collision – and hit the ground in a matter of seconds, he added. Mitchell said investigators are working to salvage the wreckage and will be interviewing witnesses and survivors over the next few days. The investigation will look at a range of influences, including the weather, how long the helicopters had been operating, how long the pilots had been flying and what was happening in the cabins, Mitchell said.
