The real story behind the dramatic explosion of an Indonesian fishing boat | 60 Minutes Australia
Nov 18 2023
In 2010, the Australian crew involved in the 2009 explosion and sinking of the Suspected Illegal Entry Vessel (SIEV) 36 near Ashmore Island shared their experiences. The incident, which resulted in the death of five Afghan asylum seekers, had been shrouded in silence, with the sailors refusing to speak publicly about it, even amidst accusations of gross misconduct. The Indonesian fishing boat had been detained by the Australian Border Protection Command before the tragedy. The crew members of the HMAS Childers and Albany, who were present at the scene, opened up about the life-altering event to Peter Overton. Their story of selfless courage and survival against the odds is a compelling one. This narrative is part of the many world-changing stories told by 60 Minutes Australia for over forty years.
