Well done to the pilot for getting a safe outcome for all inside. I understand all are out of hospital.

Back at YPJT I heard SMC asking if there were any JAH vehicles on frequency (unlikely on a Sunday) and the exchange as reported above, plus RFDS Med 1 taxiing for Rottnest. I saw what looked like a camera crew at the helipad outside the Jandakot Helicopters hangar, also two ambulances on the helipad but at a safe distance, and a Shell truck on the dirt road.

Didn't see any news choppers at the normal helicopter parking area, I guess they would have been at Rottnest. So I too wonder how the camera crew got in? And if they realised how stupid it was to get that close to a chopper that big? Ghouls.

Thank god we still have an airport and emergency services. For now, anyway.
