The Front Fell Off - video of Kirki on fire

[philip_stevens]

Anyone know where I can find the video of the Greek tanker Kirki on fire off Western Australia.

I know I have seen it somewhere before, but wanted to send the url to a friend.

There are numerous references to the Aussie "politician interview" of it, but nothing of the aircraft video of the ship on fire. It took place in 1991.

U tube clip on Kirki

yes almost certainly relating to Kirki inncident.
We need to point out that this clip is of 2 comedians making political comment. Clarke was pretending to be Senator Collins minister for environment or such like. Hence the stupid comments, we get them every Thursday night 7.55 on ABC. And I need to point out that though apparently an Ozzie he is really a New Zealander olewill

Thanks everyone.

btw Olewill, a mate of mine from South Freo was on one of the tugs that went to the Kirki.

I'm glad thats cleared up because I was really worried. I knew there was something, but I couldn't put my finger on it...



David. From West Midlands originally, not East. Ugh, damn those East Midlanders.
