About this listen
On a quiet night in January 1975, a bulk carrier struck the Tasman Bridge in Hobart.
In seconds, a section of the bridge collapsed into the Derwent River. Cars plunged into the dark. A ship lay broken across the channel. The city was suddenly cut in two.
This is the story of what happened — and what followed.
Not a technical investigation, but a human one:the people driving home,the first rescuers,the divers in the water,and a city waking up to a new reality.
An Australian story about accident, response, and the way ordinary people behave when something unthinkable happens.
