## Resource

A devastating helicopter crash off the Gold Coast in January 2023 claimed four lives, including pilot and passengers, near Sea World. As the inquest drags on, families share heart-wrenching stories — like the adult children of Ronald and Diane Hughes, who were on holiday with their grandchildren, painting a portrait of a loving couple. One father describes the unbearable grief of losing his wife and watching his son endure lifelong trauma. New evidence suggests the pilot may have been impaired by drugs and alcohol before the crash, though the company denies any prior knowledge. With more submissions expected, the coroner’s court seeks closure and answers — hoping to prevent such tragedy from ever recurring.
