New footage shows waterbombing aircraft crash that killed three US firefighters

New footage has emerged showing the moments before a C-130 Hercules waterbombing aircraft crashed last week, which killed three US firefighters. The video shows the waterbomber flying above a fireground in the New South Wales Snowy Mountains before it successfully dropped red fire retardant on a nearby property. The plane then entered a thick cloud of smoke, out of view, before it appears again and crashed into a fiery explosion. A preliminary report on the cause of the crash is expected to be prepared
