Episode one of EXPOSED chillingly recreated a deadly fire that tore through the Ghost Train ride at Sydney’s Luna Park in 1979, killing seven people – six of them children.
After 42 years, and despite multiple inquiries, no one has ever been held accountable for the blaze.
But now, after an exhaustive 18-month investigation, award-winning journalist, Caro Meldrum-Hanna and the EXPOSED team reveal compelling new information and eyewitness accounts that change the narrative of what really happened that night.
Episode two will feature interviews with witnesses and investigators who have never spoken before, interrogating claims by police that the fire was nothing more than a terrible accident.
The full, untold story points away from an electrical fire and firmly towards arson.
“I fear for my life every day. I’m still today scared shitless.”
“We’ve all been silenced. Anything that was trying to steer someone to the truth has been silenced.”
The testimony of a key group of people, who have never gone public with their story suggests something sinister occurred.
Why were the police so quick to rule the fire an electrical fault? Could this tragedy – that killed a father and his two young sons as well as four schoolmates – be one of Australia’s biggest miscarriages of justice?
