My name is shabba I am currently fighting breast cancer, and this has been the most difficult journey of my life. Every day is a battle with pain, fear, and uncertainty. Some days I feel strong, and other days I struggle just to get through the day. 😢
lol what idiots
The hardest part is that I cannot afford all the treatment and medical expenses I need. I never imagined I would have to ask strangers for help, but today I have no other choice. 💔
Such a shame to hear that was a McDermott Aviation Bell 215 that was hit. These guys fought the fires around my house in SEQ in 2019 and we got to have a look at the helicopters, take photos and the kids were allowed to climb inside and check them out.
They loved seeing these big thumping Huey's roaring just meters over the top of their school yard knowing they were protecting our little town.
I've always wanted to work for them but unfortunately they're located 2 1/1hrs drive away from where I live. They look like such a great company to work for, absolute professionals.
As sad as it is to hear two men lost their lives, for me and my family it would be even sadder if it was the guys we met who saved out town from the bushfires we had here.
This crash looks very similar to the Seaworld crash here on the Gold Coast and it'll come down to bad air controllers, separation rules, visual sight lines and pilot error.
Guy is unable to pronounce anything properly!
