Two other people on board the Australian navy Sea King helicopter survived the crash. They were rescued by a second Sea King helicopter and taken back to the transport supply ship HMAS Kanimbla. The crash occurred on Saturday at about 4.30 p.m. local time (0930 GMT) near the town of Gunung Sitoli, off the west coast of Sumatra, the defense statement said. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/04/02/nias.helicopter/index.html Dear List Members, the aviation significator, Venus, and the lord of H4 are afflicted.
