A fatal helicopter crash near Sea World in January 2023 is revealing shocking new details: pilot Ashley Jenkinson likely flew impaired, using cocaine and alcohol, and hadn’t slept in days. An aviation expert testified he was mildly impaired, and witnesses saw him partying heavily days before the crash. His partner revealed emotional breakdowns from workplace stress, adding to the pressure cooker scenario. The collision happened just 25 seconds after takeoff — a critical moment where alertness was essential. As the inquest continues, this tragedy underscores the crushing weight pilots face — and how stress, substances, and fatigue can collide with deadly consequences.
