One of the youngest victims of the horrific Sea World helicopter crash has miraculously woken from his coma and grabbed his dad’s hand.
Nicholas Tadros, 10, has been fighting for his life in hospital since January 2 when two Sea World helicopters collided mid-air on the Gold Coast.
It resulted in the deaths of Nicholas’s mother, Vanessa, along with British newlyweds, Ron and Diane Hughes, and pilot, Ash Jenkinson.
Nicholas was rushed to Gold Coast University Hospital and has been on life support.

He went through six hours of surgery last Tuesday to fix the broken bones in his legs and left hand after he was transferred to Queensland Children’s Hospital.
Nicholas’s father, Simon Tadros, revealed in a Facebook post that his son had been taken off life support a ‘few days ago’ and was holding his hand.
‘Nicky has been off life support now for a few days and his body has responded very well, still on the ventilator machine to support his breathing,’ he wrote.
‘They have lowered his sedation medicine at times to see if he is responsive and he has woken up and able to respond to some questions with a nod or shake of the head.’
