Bell 206BII VH-BHS, blue & white JetRanger. 4 PoB for a film job: silly move, IMHO, especially at <50 feet overwater

Plenty of footage on Channel 9 and Channel 7, and "eyewitness" reports of the 206 spinning prior to impact. Interview with the WIN TV cameraman (who was onboard) had him describe the 206 losing TR control/effectiveness, leading to the crash.

Bl**dy lucky for all four to get out relatively unharmed
