The ATSB should interview the cameraman who passed up the booked job Two hours before the accident.

When he saw that it was only an R44 and that it was going to have to carry a 100Kg 3D camera mount plus his not inconsiderable bulk, plus heavy professional cameras and the usual gear, and it was to be flown by the Executive Producer, he bailed, and was abused as a wus by the EP, who then hired another guy at short notice.

If he hadn't, we would have been child minding next week while others attended his funeral.

Bloody tragedy for all concerned.
