On Channel 7 News tonight, an eyewitness from the tour group says there was a fireball underneath the helicopter before it went down behind the sand dunes. If that is correct, and thinking of a Squirrel design, could it be a faulty fuel pump that caught fire? Or something like that? Unsure what equipment that ABC machine had fitted underneath it, or what fuel system is like on a twin squirrel?
