SEA WORLD HELICOPTER TRAGEDY-Witnesses speak out

HUNDREDS WATCHED IN HORROR AS THE AIRCRAFTS COLLIDED

Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll said all aspects of the crash would be investigated.  

Laura Moran was just metres away when she saw two aircrafts collide in a fatal crash.

“The noise was … I have never heard anything like it,” she recalled to the Today show. “It wasn’t a bang, it was like a whoosh that was almost like metal hitting metal.

"It sort of sent this wave through the parklands and the entire parklands went silent. Everyone just sort of looked up in shock."

It's a moment she and countless others will remember forever.

On January 2, two Sea World helicopters collided mid-flight at Main Beach on the Gold Coast.

The crash occurred 200 to 300 metres in the air at around 2pm and claimed the lives of Sea World Helicopters chief pilot Ashley Jenkinson, 40, British newlyweds Ron, 65, and Diane Hughes, 57, and NSW mum Vanessa Tadros, 36.
