they put the hospital and what is locally called a code brown, basically the highest level of emergency response they have. they broaden personnel from everywhere. they were affected in a positive way because there had been wildfires and there is an alert for those so they had personnel who were there to respond to the wildfires. they were able to deploy them to help the military personnel who were responding to that crash. we heard from the police commissioner in the city of darwin, also the top minister in that state. the prime minister here, anthony albanese, he's been briefed. he called it a tragic accident. the u.s. embassy responded just a short time ago and in a response, said in part, their thoughts are with families and friends of the three u.s. marines who were killed. they're hoping for a full and speedy recovery for the five who remain in the hospital. that's what we can tell you this hour. >> serge ames, i appreciate you joining us from melbourne to give us the latest on that.
