I think many have crashed but the one im thinking about was back in 1974 (geez that long ago).
They found an extra body------apparently a hitch-hiker along for the ride.

Actually it was a rewarding day money wise ,Was on 4-midnight shift in the mine and got called away at 6pm.Never got back to 8pm the following night and the cheeky boss wanted to know if i wanted to work the last 4 hours of shift.No way ,went to the pub and got horribly legless.
Thinking we would only get fire fighting wage ,was astounded to see our normal wage and with 28 hours ,overtime rates included,nearly paid for my hangover lol.

It can get bl@@dy scarey alright .Lucky it was a Holden or you may have got your @rse burnt.
I like sitting by a fire at ground level having a beer but not when flames are 100ft high and going like the clappers.
