New Show: The Flood - EP3: We are sinking
7/2/202620 min
From The Australian, this is The Flood. The true story of 60 Australian men and women trapped in a submarine deep under the Indian Ocean when an explosion threatens to sink the vessel and send its crew to the bottom.
Crippled by a seawater flood, the crew of HMAS Dechaineux fight to stop their submarine from sinking to the ocean floor. As the boat plummets further, Episode 3 reveals how the 60 men and women confront their mortality while battling to survive.
Exclusive interviews with the captain, crew and top brass reveal the terror and emotion that still haunts this group of proud warriors, who risked their own lives every day in the defence of Australia. The Flood is a truly inspirational story of human courage, resilience, teamwork and ingenuity.
The Flood is a four-part audio and video series by Cameron Stewart, Claire Harvey and Jasper Leak. Listen to all of The Flood by searching ‘The Flood’ wherever you listen, or watch The Flood and find graphics, stories and pictures at thefloodpodcast.com
