I love this comment from the local paper...
"The pilot contacted a Qantas plane which was flying above, which then used its stronger on-board radio system to alert authorities to the crash."
Also, the media are all saying the RAC rescue helicopter was sent out. It was an R44 from Esperance.
And the Dornier didn't even rate a mention, despite being the first ones there, maybe their 'on-board radio system' wasn't good enough.
