Overview

• Chris Wilson, a star of the Netflix show 'Outback Wrangler', died in a helicopter crash in February 2022 while collecting crocodile eggs in Australia's Northern Territory.
• The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) reported that the helicopter ran out of fuel mid-flight, causing it to crash.
• The pilot, Sebastian Robinson, had taken cocaine in the days leading up to the flight, which the ATSB suggests could have increased the likelihood of fatigue, depression and inattention.
• Three people, including Matt Wright, the owner of the helicopter company and star of the Netflix shows 'Wild Croc Territory' and 'Outback Wrangler', face charges relating to the crash.
• The ATSB found that the operator was not using a proper safety management system to identify and manage operational hazards.
