In 1997, the world was transfixed by the frantic search for life at the alpine ski resort of Thredbo. A landslide had obliterated two ski lodges, burying 19 people beneath an enormous deluge of mud, concrete and rock. As hours turned into days, and with temperatures plunging well below freezing, the prospect of finding survivors began to fade. That was until the muffled cries of Stuart Diver were heard from beneath the rubble. With incredible courage, he clung to life as an extraordinary rescue effort got underway, and 65 nerve-wracking hours after the landslide, Thredbo's sole survivor emerged to the cheers of the world. But for Stuart, the elation was short-lived. In a breathtaking 60 MINUTES interview, Stuart Diver spoke candidly to Tara Brown about Thredbo and his life of love and loss.
