Defence Dept disputes Black Hawk crash theory The Defence Department says newspaper reports that Captain Mark Bingley activated a mechanical failure alarm seconds before a fatal Black Hawk helicopter crash are incorrect. The chopper came down in waters off Fiji in November killing two soldiers and injuring several others. Brigadier Nicholas Bartells says any discussion of the incident before the inquiry is completed is speculation. And he says Black Hawk helicopters do not have mechanical failure alarms. "I'd like to tell you that no such alarm exists," he said. "The aircraft is equipped with a crash position indicator, it's a radio beacon which is activated by impact and it also has two sonar locators activated on contact with water. "Those three devices are not activated by the pilot." +++ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
