"On 25 April 2007, it will be one year since a rock fall in the Beaconsfield mine trapped Todd Russell and Brant Webb 925 metres underground for two weeks, and killed their fellow miner Larry Knight. Bad Ground is the exclusive, authorised story of the 14-day entombment and rescue of the Beaconsfield miners and the fascinating aftermath. Russell and Webb, who were wary colleagues before becoming trapped in a cramped and crushed cage, shared explicit details of their ordeal with author Tony Wright."
