Wow video link flopped but the story worked out fine.
Here in Canada we have our share of Poor helicopters and subs.
but both ship and aircraft are of a good variety there. nasty buisness
although 2500m to recover the data and the body were impressive feats.
Sad to hear none the less albeit a year late in my case.

Most of the Collins class sub's problems have been solved. With the helicopters, they have gien the go ahead to finish the Sea sprite helicopters. The black hawk that crashed did so in dangerous conditions, so that one is human error.

The other black hawk crashes have been put down to some of the hazadous conditions they fly and train in.

Still it's sad that it happened, and hopeful won't be repeated.

I just heard on the radio that they released this footage before one of the survivors saw it. How arogant is our military not to consult him in a matter like this.

Mate it was a civilian court that let me media release it. I agree it's digusting.

If the SMH link doesn't work the video's are now on You tube in several forms:

Guilty of speaking without knowing the facts. Again...

I take back my comment and direct it at the civilian courts. They should have at least given them warning about it. Instead of allowing a survivor to be surprised at dinner time by seeing something like this on tv.
