Passenger Posts Video Moments Before Being Fatally Injured In Aircraft Accident

Accident Occurred During Demonstration For Australia Day In Perth

A woman who was fatally injured when the Grumman G-73 Seaplane on which she was a passenger went down in the Swan River in Perth, Australia had posted a video to Instagram moments before the accident occurred.

The U.K. newspaper The Express reports that, according to a witness, the airplane banked left and "seemed to go further to the left ... and lose forward momentum and lost altitude fairly quickly."

The accident occurred during an Australia Day celebration in Perth, and some 60,000 people reportedly watched the airplane impact the river. It was involved in the Skyworks airshow in Perth celebrating the national holiday. It was being piloted by 52-year-old Peter Lynch. His partner, 30-year-old Endah Cakrawati, was the woman who posted the video from the cockpit of the airplane.

The accident is under investigation by CASA.
