The estimated intrusion of the three rotors shown in the drawing in the report was certainly sobering.
The preliminary report does also make public as much as is currently known regarding radio communications by the various helicopters operating in the area at the time (of which there were four). It also lists plans for safety improvements proposed by Sea World Helicopters, and the large list of investigation tasks related to this accident still ahead for the ATSB.
