Wahine Commemorations

it was 40 years ago today

If ever there was a case for global warming....

Anyone going along to the Musesum of Wgtn?

I would've liked to.  I vaguely rememer the day as a 4yr old, I was sh*t scared from the noise of the wind.

I was 7 at the time. the schools were closed. i remember that incessant rain and wind. I remember the old Murphy 26" b/w TV showing the Ship in the harbour and it's demise. The saturday after the storm, My dad drove us around there for a look and the harbour was like a mirror, and sunny skies. It was impressive. Certainly worth remembering and respecting the sea.

I was 10 days old.  I remember nothing.

Were you drunk even then??

I was 76 in my previous life.

Well before my time.  But i did watch a good doco on it the other night on TV1.  Interviewed surviors and people that helped out the rescue. Heaps of old school video and photos.

Here is the news clip from 1968
