On October 25, 2016, a day of fun at Dreamworld turned into a nightmare when the Thunder River Rapids ride malfunctioned, claiming the lives of four innocent people. But beyond the tragedy itself lies a deeper question: Who was responsible?
In this episode, we unravel the failures that led to the disaster and the legal battle that followed. How did corporate negligence contribute to the fatal accident? And could Dreamworld’s parent company, Ardent Leisure, shield its executives from personal accountability under the corporate veil?
Through firsthand accounts, expert analysis, and a look at the aftermath, we expose how safety warnings were ignored, maintenance failures were covered up, and the legal system was pushed to its limits in the fight for justice.
Join us as we explore the intersection of corporate greed, accountability, and the limits of legal protection—and how, in the wake of disaster, acts of extraordinary bravery shone through the darkness.
