Different times[edit]

Rescue[edit]

According to this article [1] Stuart Diver was found at 5.37 am, and pulled out at 5.37 pm. That seems a little strange that it would be exactly 12 hours later??

It also says that he had been trapped for 65 hours before being pulled out, which means that given the landslide happened 11.30pm Wednesday, it would have been, er.. 4.30pm Saturday when he was recovered if my maths is right.

This article [2] says that he was found at 5.50am, and it was 10 hours later that he was retrieved, which would make it 3.50pm. Astrokey44 21:43, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

and another one.. 5.00pm according to [3]

Landslide[edit]

There have also been slightly different times given for the landslide, I have seen 11.30pm, 11.35pm and here [4] 11.40pm

ACOTF[edit]

This article was the Australian Collaboration of the fortnight from 19 September to 3 October 2005. This is how much it was changed by 5 authors making 14 edits. --Scott Davis Talk 11:51, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of death[edit]

The article says Diver's wife was killed by a concrete beam. Everywhere else I have read seems to indicate that she died by drowning as the beam stopped her from getting out of the way of the water. (JROBBO 09:10, 15 April 2006 (UTC))?[reply]

What water? --Astrokey44 08:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Deathtoll[edit]

The article says that 18 people died in the landslide. But then when it comes to the movie adaption of the event, its says '...killing more than 50 people.' Naughk (talk) 23:39, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
