Four Dead After Helicopter Collision Near Sea World
A tragic mid-air collision near Sea World on Australia’s Gold Coast left four people dead and three critically injured.
Video taken by a passenger shows a tourist tapping the pilot’s shoulder in warning before
“glass shatters over the passengers” as the helicopters collide.
The Moment of Impact
In the 15-second clip, a passenger points toward the other helicopter before the collision.
The pilot of one aircraft managed to land safely on a sandbank,
saving several lives despite shattered glass and chaos inside the cabin.

Two New Zealand couples on board said they were “completely devastated”
that a “fun 5-minute joy ride… turned into a nightmare.”
They expressed sorrow for the victims and gratitude to rescuers, saying, “We saw mateship in action.”
Victims Remembered
Among the four killed were the pilot, a 36-year-old mother, and a British couple visiting Australia.
