1 3 y separately published work icon Bad Ground : Inside the Beaconsfield Mine Rescue Tony Wright , Brant Webb , Todd Russell , Sydney : Murdoch Books , 2006 Z1324031 2006 single work autobiography 'Bad Ground is the exclusive, authorised story of the 14-day entombment and rescue of the Beaconsfield miners Brant Webb and Todd Russell and the fascinating aftermath. The blast and rock fall which occurred one kilometre underground on Anzac Day, 25 April 2006 killed their fellow worker, Larry Knight and left their shift manager in no doubt they were also dead. Bad Ground reads like a psychological thriller as it follows the many intriguing and moving developments surrounding its central characters and their families, above ground and deep below.'
