Families of four soldiers killed in an Australian Army helicopter crash tell a Senate inquiry the aircraft should not have been flying on the night of the incident. According to reporting from PerthNow and The West Australian, the families argue that safety concerns were raised before the flight and that the Army did not adequately address or act on those warnings. The accounts presented to the inquiry focus on the lead-up to the crash and the decision to proceed with the mission despite the warning. Both sources describe the event as “horrific” and identify the deaths as involving four soldiers. The stories indicate the families’ aim is to have the inquiry examine how safety information was handled and what factors contributed to the helicopter being in the air. The reports do not provide additional findings from the inquiry itself, nor do they detail the nature of the safety warning beyond the families’ claim that it was ignored.
