Gold Coast Helicopter Crash Video Reddit
Reddit is flooded with videos of the mid-air collision between two helicopters on the Gold Coast.
The exact cause of the two helicopters colliding in midair is still unknown, but according to ATSB Chief Commissioner Angus Mitchell, the crash happened 200 to 300 meters in the air on Monday at around 2:00 pm.
He claimed that at the time of the crash, one helicopter with seven people on board was taking off, and another helicopter with six people aboard was making a landing. The landing helicopter’s front section sustained “considerable damage” when the helicopter’s main rotors collided with the plane taking off.
As a result, the ascending aircraft’s main rotor blades and gearbox split apart, and the plane crashed down onto the sandbar.
