Faulty antenna played role in fatal Australian helicopter crash

A faulty radio antenna contributed to a deadly mid-air helicopter collision at an Australian theme park and resort, transport safety officials say.
Four people died – including two British tourists – and several more were seriously injured when the two aircraft hit each other in January 2023, near Sea World on the Gold Coast.
An investigation by Australia’s Transport and Safety Bureau (ATSB) found one of the pilots did not hear a vital radio call shortly before the accident, and that a series of changes by Sea World meant risk controls were over time eroded.
The accident rocked the Gold Coast, one of the nation’s biggest tourist hotspots.
The two helicopters collided around 20 seconds after one had taken off and as the other was landing.
