An independent inquiry is examining the circumstances that lead up to the fatal Taipan helicopter crash in July 2023, which claimed the lives of four defence personnel.
The inquiry heard Lieutenant Nugent had been flying the aircraft leading formation, when he witnessed an MRH-90 crash into the water landing on top of the soldier divers, who were all recovered."My son had later learned that the crash was caused by engine failure," Mr Nugent said. Mr Nugent described his surprise when technical incident reports revealed his son was seated in the helicopter on the left-hand side when his son preferred the right-hand side.Mr Nugent criticised the Queensland police and coroner's office for the handling of the investigation into his son's death.
