ABC chopper crash Lake Eyre

It's being reported that an ABC news helicopter has crashed at Lake Eyre in South Australia last night, killing the 3 on board. Reports are suggesting there was bad weather in the area at the time of the crash. Veteran ABC pilot Gary Ticehurst and journalist Paul Lockyer are amongst the dead.

The recent wet weather has triggered a breeding boom of birds around Lake Eyre, including pelicans. Although the crash reportedly happened at around 1930, I can't help but wonder if perhaps the aircraft may have suffered a bird strike. No doubt the investigation will reveal all.
