White Silence

Stuff | RNZ

On November 28, 1979, an Air New Zealand jet took off from Auckland Airport on a sightseeing trip to Antarctica. There were 257 people on board. Hours later everyone was dead. Somehow, the plane had flown directly into the Erebus volcano. This was a disaster that shattered a country’s psyche. In the decades since, grief gave way to blame, anger and recrimination. Who was responsible for so many de... more

  • Probably the most comprehensive telling of the story of the Mount Erebus disaster, and about as close to the truth as we can get. If you are familiar with the story, listen anyway - there are interviews here you won't have heard elsewhere. Well put together and sensitive.

  • Cut the unnecessary detail

    I think there are better ways of summarising the complex information about waypoints. The stuff about altitude and white out isn’t as complicated as they think it is. Podcast could be about 2 or 3 episodes shorter if they cut the unnecessary details.

The disaster caused a years long court battle, permanent mandatory changes to aircraft radar, accusations (and quite a bit of evidence) of a coverup, and a huge lo... more
