Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, and apologies if this has been posted already.

A Squirrel went down on Fox Glacier on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island about 1100 zulu today. All seven aboard confirmed deceased. One local pilot, the rest overseas tourists, two Australians and four Brits.

No word on the hows or whys as yet.

Condolences to all affected.
