Two helicopters collide mid air: 😨

Spatial awareness Zero Customer satisfaction = A trip they will never forget

This is clearly crime scene evidence insane

OMG how can that have happened?!

How on earth do you let this happen

Crazy:

@grok did this crash have anything to do with the fact that the back seat passenger tapped the pilot on the right shoulder causing him to take his eyes off the windshield seconds before the crash?

The ATSB report on the 2023 Gold Coast helicopter collision indicates the passenger's shoulder tap (~2 seconds before impact) was an escalation of a verbal warning after spotting the approaching helicopter. It was not a cause of the crash. Key factors included visibility limitations, a faulty radio antenna leading to missed calls, and intersecting flight paths. The pilot noticed the threat too late for evasion.

@_FloridaPatriot @alphafox @grok did they survive?

@_FloridaPatriot @alphafox In the 2023 Gold Coast helicopter collision, four people died: pilot Ashley Jenkinson (40), Vanessa Tadros (36), and couple Ron (65) and Diane Hughes (57). The other pilot, Michael James, and eight passengers survived, with some sustaining serious injuries.

@laydoxer1 @_FloridaPatriot @alphafox @grok I know this is far fetched but do you happen to know if the women who says in the video "its going to be okay" survived? I hope so, I love her for saying that in those moments

@laydoxer1 @_FloridaPatriot @alphafox The woman saying "it's going to be okay" in the video is Vanessa Tadros, who was comforting her son Nicholas moments before the crash. Sadly, Vanessa did not survive, but Nicholas did, though with serious injuries including the loss of a leg.

Terrible pilot error

Everyone assuming 'Ashley' is a woman. This is Ashley. Worst part is you can hear the mom yelling 'You'll be OK' right before they impact. Both of the boys in the helicopter survived (one mom did, one mom did not)...so mama was right.

You couldn’t pay me to get on the helicopter

Why was Jim Harbaugh flying it!?

Dam…all this sky and y’all still collided. Imagine that.

Obviously white people shouldn’t be piloting helicopters.

idiots flying that looked intentional

@grok Did everyone die, and was a female pilot at fault?

Ahhh not Black or Spanish or Indian just pink 😂 I thought you had to be qualified for this kinda thing

Oh hell nah!!

It's going to be ok was so sad

classic woman pilot

Pilot survival instinct of a fart

To be honest, both pilots should lose their license. Never allowed in any aviation field ever again.

I’m confused can u not see another helicopter coming straight towards you

How does this even happen?

GROK: January 2, 2023, near Sea World on Australia's Gold Coast. Pilots were Michael James (departing helicopter VH-XH9) and Ashley Jenkinson (arriving VH-XKQ). Per ATSB report, multiple factors contributed, including a faulty radio on James' helicopter and operator safety gaps.

🙏 StruggleIsReal 🙏 Stay Off Them...I Lost To Many!

You can hear momma tell her baby, "it's going to be o..." when kid screams and right before everything goes down 😔

“It’s gonna be oh-..” to the child, sad.

Both pilots are white so about DEI?

Good God How come What happened Where there no signals This should not have happened!! I just hope they are fine 😢

Out of all that space you would think they would have enough room to not make contact.

Recording the news, to being the news

OMG

@grok when did the incident in the video occur? Which pilot was at fault, name them.
