00:20 Initial reports suggest that the incident involves just US Defence Force personnel,
00:28 that there are no members of the Australian Defence Force involved in this incident.
00:34 Three American Marines were killed, another 20 were on board and five of them are now in the Royal Darwin Hospital.
00:42 Obviously our thoughts are very much with the families of those Marines.
00:48 This is a desperately sad and tragic event and it just reminds us how dangerous and how risky defence exercise is.
