1997 • E12 60mBy Liz Jackson. This program pieces together the final moments leading up to the Australian Army's worst peace time disaster, the Blackhawk tragedy on June 12, 1996. We hear stories of under-training, lack of resources and extreme stress. The findings of the Army's inquiry are reviewed and questions whether the disciplining of five officers addresses all the problems. Survivors of the disaster also tell their stories.
