SeaWorld chopper crash: A Current Affair’s Allison Langdon in tears during talk with grieving dad

Allison Langdon has burst into tears as a grieving husband opened up about the tragic SeaWorld helicopter crash that killed his wife and left his son in a coma.

Simon Tadros revealed the last moment he shared with his wife Vanessa, 36, and son Nicholas, 10, before they took off the doomed joy flight at the Gold Coast on January 2.

‘I just gave them both a hug and a kiss and I said, ‘enjoy it…have fun,’ he told the A Current Affair host.

‘I’ll see you when you get back down’.’

Minutes later, Mr Tadros recalled hearing a ‘big bang’ and could only watch on in horror as the aircraft collided with another helicopter in mid-air.

It then plummeted onto a sandbank, killing four people inside including Vanessa, British newlyweds Ron, 65, and Diane Hughes, 57, and pilot Ashley Jenkinson, 40.

The pair’s son, Nicholas, was in a critical condition and fell into a coma. 

But he has since awoken and is now in a stable condition. 

‘I lost my wife, to lose my son as well…,’ Mr Tadros said before he was overcome with emotion.

He tells Langdon that his son is a survivor who will not ‘give up’ as he continues his recovery.

The devastated father recalled telling Nicholas in hospital, ‘I don’t want to leave you by yourself, let’s make mummy proud’.

She tearfully tells Mr Tadros: ‘That poor little boy… still so fragile.’ 

Nicholas was so badly hurt in the crash, he needed six surgeries in one day and spent several more days on life support.

The other two survivors from the chopper, Winnie de Silva, 33, and her son Leon, 9, remain in hospital with extensive injuries.

The chopper collided with another mid-air before plummeting onto a sandbank in the Gold Coast on January 2 

Queensland Police and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau are examining the crash but a final verdict on what caused it isn’t expected until 2024.

SeaWorld Helicopters has suspended flights while investigations take place.
