REMEMBERING TRACY - 40 YEARS ON

[@indigocheetah4172]

My brother had just started with channel 7. He said at the time they had lost contact with Darwin. I was an RN, and met the residents of Darwin, when they arrived in Brisbane. We welcomed the People of Darwin, and gave health checks for everyone. May the People who lost their lives, RIP.

My Dad was a volunteer with the clean up , he told me he gathered 14 bodies and what broke him was a 4 yr old girl getting tossed side to side from the tide on the beach , now I understand why he drank a lot especially during Xmas , he is 80 now and it still haunts him

Do a special investigation into the reasons behind the UN's subsequent enacting of the international EnMod treaty. Weather should not be used as a weapon. Even if it is accidental, experimental, unintentional... Or classified top secret for 100+ years :/

A lovely story on Australian Weather events that destroyed a area in the top end and all and 71 was the top count on deaths technically etc.

One day, a smart cookie will work out just the right question to ask via the Freedom of Information act, and tell the true story of Tracy. 😮
