Crews in Australia are working to retrieve the bodies of a British father and son, 9, who died in a landslide in the Blue Mountains
A 15-year-old British girl, who called the emergency services when disaster struck, was the only member of her family to walk away unharmed following the landslide, in which her 49-year-old father and nine-year-old brother died.
The bodies remain at the site of the landslide at Wentworth Falls as crews work to retrieve them by helicopter on Tuesday. "They had to make that site as safe as possible for the rescue squads to provide that care, so hence we're still in the recovery phase for the two people who didn't survive." "This was a really complex and delicate rescue operation for our crews who were working to access patients in rugged bushland and were navigating unstable ground," he said.
