Fed: Black Hawk crash video emerges

Defence officials say they have a video which will shed more light on the fatal crash
of the army Black Hawk helicopter .. on HMAS Kanimbla off Fiji.

Army pilot Captain MARK BINGLEY is dead and SAS corporal JOSHUA PORTER is still missing
.. following Wednesday's accident when the Black Hawk crashed while trying to land on
the ship .. and plunged into the ocean.

Defence authorities investigating the cause of the accident may not be able to recover
the helicopter from the sea bed.

However defence says a video capturing the crash has been provided to an Air Accident
Investigation Team.

The video's from a closed circuit television which records all arrivals and departures
from the Kanimbal's flight deck.
