Plane crash at North Curl Curl – one dead

Sad news to report.

A plane crashed at North Curl Curl around 1000 this morning.

One person fot out of the aircraft okay and has been taken away by ambulance.

 

I went up to get a picture or two and watched as a couple divers jumped off the police boat bobbing around just south of the pool.

After awhile they resurfaced and they seemed to be towing something. As I took pictures it became apparent that it was a person.

 

The boat moved out to sea as soon as the divers were back aboard.
