The Thredbo Landslide | A Short Documentary | Fascinating Horror

[@rich_edwards79]

I remember reading an interview with Stuart Diver in a magazine not long after this happened. Not only did his wife Sally drown in the dark beside him as the hollow in which they were both trapped filled with water, but he came millimeters from the same thing happening as the icy, muddy water rose several times during his ordeal. Apparently he held her hand the whole time 😢 His will to survive must have been incredible, psychologically that would have absolutely broken me. According to Wikipedia, he did later remarry only to lose his second wife to cancer in 2015.

[@tylr222]

I heard that he had tried to cup is hand around her mouth so she could breathe as the water rushed over her, not sure how true that is but imagine the physiological torment of him trying to do anything he could to save her and it still not being enough

[@belindaf8821]

I heard that the media gave him shit for remarrying, and did the same to Walter Micak. I can’t begin to comprehend what either of them went through, it hurts to think about… but then after all they went through, people expected their lives to end too? It’s so grubby, but that’s the Australian media for you.

Aussie here. Firstly, well done on correctly pronouncing "Kosciuszko"! Secondly, I remember reading an interview with Stuart Diver a few years ago. In this interview, Stuart spoke about how after the disaster, he was (understandably) deeply depressed, and struggling to cope. What helped him were hundreds of letters he received from Australian primary school students. The kids would write things like: "I'm sorry the mountain fell on you." Stuart reckoned their lack of tip-toing around the tragedy was exactly what he needed to hear!

[@jj-if6it]

Actually the irony is we're all saying it wrong. It's a Polish name that is closer to "Kosh-tchoosh-ko". I imagine that our fellow Aussies back in the day did a rough guess at how it was pronounced by how the word looks and it stuck.

[@samanthasowala2412]

We have a town in Indiana named Kosciusko and we pronounce it like he did in the video. My polish great grandmother pronounced it more like the other person commented.

[@jj-if6it]

@@samanthasowala2412 yeah we Australians and Americans would have just adapted the name and wouldn't pronounce it as accurately as an actual Polish person would. It also changes over time

I remember this happening very well, especially living within a certain distance of the snow field’s. This guy definitely went through an incredibly tough time, but it amazed me somewhat how the authorities basically claimed him to be some kind of “Hero” instead of the victim/survivor he really was. The true heroes, the one’s that actually risked their lives in order to save him almost received no public mention, while “Diver” appears in just about every single kind of media format possible, he was literally on a media tour being celebrated as a hero, yet in truth, all he did was survive and await rescue. It was only after seeing how the media handled this story, that rescue teams were actually given the credit etc that the genuinely deserved. Victims were no longer considered heroes following this either. The volunteers that basically operate the emergency services, fire service etc are truly amazing individuals, the people that actually do the work to save lives should never be forgotten.

I'm a Millennial Aussie, and I remember Thredbo. I think everyone around my age does. It was a moment that shook our nation, and snow tourism is still not quite the same as it was before the incident.

I lived about 40 minutes from Thredbo when this happened and grew up I’m the mountains. One of my old bosses was a tiler and did some work in a chalet about 200 metres from where he was able to park. (Parking in Thredbo is notoriously hard to get to) summer time is very busy with tradespeople. Stuart was the labourer on the job and had to run up and down the mountain with boxes of tiles, glue, tools, lunches etc and nobody could believe how incredibly fit this guy was, doing 2-3 trips to everyone else’s one. He’s an extraordinary human and a nice guy by all accounts.

There were many pre-disaster photos of Stuart Diver and his gorgeous wife, Sally. I was surprised that none of those photos or bios were used in this video. I believe it would have been much more interesting and moving to focus more on them, rather than dry accounts of hydro-electric politics or which department was responsible for maintenance of the Alpine Way or what millionaire capitalist built the resort.
