## Resource

Four soldiers died in a helicopter crash during a military exercise, but their families say the official blame on pilot error ignores years of known safety flaws in the aircraft. Testifying at a Senate Inquiry, they argue the Taipan was dangerously unreliable, crew fatigue and systemic failures—not individual mistakes—led to the tragedy, and demand an independent investigation to hold the right people accountable and prevent future losses.
