Yeah this is a shocking incident to New Zealand as it comes exactly 29 years after Erebus which is a freaky coincidence. I know the CEO quite well and he really distressed at the moment as you would expect.

We're all watching the coverage here in NZ but we're not holding our breath unfortunatley.

If anyone wanted an update:

Both the voice and data recorders have been recovered, but are highly damaged and are proving difficult but not impossible to recover data from; both being sent to Paris.

A third body was recovered when the cockpit was found, with that body and the other two found still yet to be formally identified.

Four bodies are still unaccounted for and are presumed dead.
