On This Day - August 2nd 1997

After three days, skiing instructor Stuart Diver is pulled alive from the rubble of the collapsed Thredbo resorts. 

For three days after the collapse of the Alpine Way in Australia's high country in 1997 (see July 30), Stuart Diver, 27, lay trapped between two concrete slabs, under mud, rubble and snow. The rescue operation was made all the more dangerous by the instability of the debris and the land. Heavy rain, melting snow and landfill had resulted in 2000 square metres of liquefied soil rushing down the mountainside. 1350 volunteers and specialists in rescue operations worked in shifts around the clock to clear the rubble and find survivors. The focus changed for the rescue workers when Stuart Diver was found alive.
