Disaster strikes
Wednesday, 5 January 2011
The evening of the 5th January 1975. A bulk ore carrier strikes the pylons of the Tasman Bridge. Twelve people died, including 5 car occupants who went over the edge into the water of the Derwent River.
Has the town or city where you live ever had a disaster?
How did the town cope?
What did they do to survive?
Write about a natural disaster you have heard about. Imagine you or one of your family were in the disaster. How were you feeling?
