ALMOST UNPRECEDENTED Episode 4 - Trapped in an overturned explosives truck
Two mine workers are in a runway mine explosives truck. The truck has gone through & over the windrow before ploughing into an
older windrow. Everything has concertinaed. The diesel trucks fuel tanks have been torn off, fuel is spilling out, the trucks
batteries have been torn off and are hanging by the battery cables themselves. Four tonnes of unused Ammonium Nitrate has
now been spilt into the mix.
Kel Bendeich recalls his account of the rescue, as the Mine Emergency Response Superintendent. In this episode, he interviews
Lindsay Richardson who was the Mine Manager of the time.
