Investigators are on their way to Invercargill to interview the three men who survived a helicopter crash in the Southern Ocean. The interviews will start in investigation that may include an attempt to raise the helicopter from the ocean. Transport Accident Investigation Commission spokesman Simon Pleasants said this morning the investigation had begun yesterday. "The first thing that they will be doing is interviewing the survivors - it's great that we've got survivors - and then they will be recovering documents and other evidence from the operator and the owner.'' After that, the investigators would look into recovering the helicopter.
