About

A dramatic, superbly researched and page-turning account of a disaster that should never have happened.

The dramatic political and legal fallout, and the effect on the small West Coast community. It reveals an appalling string of mistakes, from consent being given for the mine in the first place, to lack of proper monitoring equipment, pressure to ignore safety requirements, and effectively only a single exit. It puts a human face on the people who suffered, and provides penetrating insight on who's to blame.

Investigative journalism at its very best.

Illustrated with colour photos and diagrams.
