Two experienced helicopter pilots who collided with each other in perfect flying conditions at Sea World may have been 'distracted', according to industry experts. Sydney mother Vanessa Tadros, 36, was one of four people killed in the helicopter crash. Her husband and Leon's step-father Neil shouted them the 10-minute flight from Sea World only to watch on in 'numb' disbelief as their helicopter plunged into the sandbar. Mr James is believed to have only worked as a Sea World helicopter pilot for a year, although he is said to be highly skilled with many prior years of flying. The two Sea World helicopters in the air seconds before impact on Monday afternoonAviation law expert Professor Ron Bartsch believes authorities will be more focused on the cause rather than attributing blame.
