I Was Actually There

Beaconsfield Mine rescue 2006 | Todd Russell


Listen Later

Todd Russell spent 14 days trapped one kilometre underground with his co-worker Brant Webb after a mine collapse. Until the last minute, they were never certain they'd survive. Todd tells how an ordinary night shift led to his becoming a household name, thanks to a massive rescue effort. And what it took to withstand those hours deep underground.
