Summary
Four soldiers died in a deadly helicopter crash during a training exercise, sparking a Senate Inquiry into systemic failures, equipment reliability, and regulatory oversight. Investigators point to spatial disorientation as the cause, while families argue the aircraft was a known safety hazard for years, with billions spent despite warnings. A former pilot testified that faulty helmet displays could cause disorientation, and crew fatigue was ignored before the flight. The families demand accountability, calling for an independent aviation authority to prevent future tragedies and ensure lessons are learned from this preventable loss.
