is the info right for this story, they seem to be about different crashes...

[digitaldanmartin]

Yes, the info is correct. I was talking about another event as well in 1998 which was related.

@houguey That's correct, the chopper of TVQ's and all in Brisbane are meticulously maintained, there was nothing mechanically wrong with the chopper in 1998.

It's a shame the bloke took his life, there is always more worth living for.
