Buried: The Beaconsfield Mine Collapse
Two miners walked out to cheers. Nobody filmed what came after.
On Anzac Day 2006, a small earthquake collapsed a section of the Beaconsfield gold mine in Tasmania, killing one miner and trapping two others nearly a kilometre underground for fourteen days. The world watched them walk out. What it didn't see was the PTSD, the broken families, and the rescuer who didn't survive the rescue.
