Speaker 1: Hi, it's Claire from the Front. We're bringing you a
0:07
Speaker 1: new mini series from The Australian called The Flood, and
0:10
Speaker 1: this is episode two. The series is hosted by Chief
0:14
Speaker 1: International Correspondent Cameron Stewart and created by Cam with me
0:18
Speaker 1: and our audio lead Jasper Leik, plus all of us
0:21
Speaker 1: here at The Australian. It tells the incredible true story
0:25
Speaker 1: of how sixty Australian sub mariners saved their own lives
0:29
Speaker 1: and their boat. The Flood is a truly inspirational story
0:32
Speaker 1: of human courage, resilience, teamwork and ingenuity. You can follow
0:37
Speaker 1: the show by searching The Flood wherever you listen and
0:40
Speaker 1: going to the floodpodcast dot com, where you can also
0:44
Speaker 1: watch it as a video. The Flood is brought to
0:56
Speaker 1: you by the Australian War Memorial. Some story define a nation,
1:01
Speaker 1: Others reveal what it means to be human. Through Their
1:04
Speaker 1: Eyes is a new podcast from the Australian War Memorial
1:07
Speaker 1: that uncovers powerful human stories, revealing war through unexpected perspectives
1:13
Speaker 1: and immersive storytelling. Through Their Eyes will be live soon
1:17
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts.
1:21
Speaker 2: Breathe, my heart is beating through my neck.
1:27
Speaker 3: I know we all know that if we go down in.
1:31
Speaker 2: This stepth of water, we will be crushed by the
1:34
Speaker 2: pressure before we hit the bottom.
1:38
Speaker 4: Commodore Peter Scott was responsible for HMA's to show know
1:41
Speaker 4: and the lives who depended on her. He still carries
1:44
Speaker 4: that burden, and he wrote about the experience in his
1:47
Speaker 4: book Running Deep. I asked him to read a passage
1:50
Speaker 4: from the book.
1:51
Speaker 2: We're beneath steep diving depth and we're sinking. There's a
1:56
Speaker 2: moment in time where I know all of me, and
2:00
Speaker 2: I'm here. The captain is here, holding onto his fear
2:05
Speaker 2: to remain calm.
2:07
Speaker 3: And offer courage to his crew.
2:10
Speaker 2: Commander Scott is here, observing every single order and every
2:15
Speaker 2: single action, mind racing to understand the present and shape
2:21
Speaker 2: the future. Scottie, the husband, is here, and so is
2:26
Speaker 2: Law's dad. Pete, the hopeful boy, still searching for his
2:32
Speaker 2: place in the world, is here, not wanting to die,
2:38
Speaker 2: not like this, not taking this crew with him. Yet
2:48
Speaker 2: I can already see myself floating, face down and lifeless
2:55
Speaker 2: through a cold, dark submarine.
3:05
Speaker 4: It was February twelve, two thousand and three, and fifty
3:08
Speaker 4: night miles off the coast of Perth. The Royal Australian
3:11
Speaker 4: Navy submarine HMAS to Shano and a sixty crew were
3:15
Speaker 4: fighting for survival.
3:17
Speaker 5: I don't think there was anybody on board that day, Cameron,
3:19
Speaker 5: it wasn't shit scared.
3:24
Speaker 4: I'm Cameron Stewart and this is the flood Episode two
3:28
Speaker 4: shut all whole valves. Peter Scott had no idea how
3:36
Speaker 4: much seawater had entered his submarine, or if water was
3:39
Speaker 4: still surging in. He knew the flood had started in
3:42
Speaker 4: the lower motor room at the back of the submarine,
3:44
Speaker 4: where one of his crew, Petty Officer Jordie Bunting, was stationed,
3:49
Speaker 4: but he knew nothing else.
3:51
Speaker 6: We'll never know how close we were to finishing up
3:54
Speaker 6: at this moment.
3:55
Speaker 4: Hmaa's to Shano, the pride of Australia's new submarine fleet,
4:00
Speaker 4: was just seconds from sinking like a monstrous black rock
4:04
Speaker 4: to the frigid depths of the Indian Ocean. The only
4:07
Speaker 4: comfort for Jordie Bunting in his crew was that their
4:10
Speaker 4: death would have been swift. In the years since the
4:13
Speaker 4: crews often speculated they were twenty seconds away from death.
4:18
Speaker 7: I probably think that was a bit of an overestimation.
4:22
Speaker 7: I reckon it's closer to ten. Yeah, I knew we're
4:25
Speaker 7: in trouble.
4:29
Speaker 6: That's it.
4:31
Speaker 4: As the stricken submarine went down, Bunting in his crew
4:34
Speaker 4: would have listened helplessly to the creeks and cracks as
4:38
Speaker 4: the water pressure outside leaned on the hull like an elephant.
4:42
Speaker 4: There would have been no survivors.
4:46
Speaker 6: It was just another day.
4:47
Speaker 5: It was just another ordinary day and we'd proceeded out
4:50
Speaker 5: to carry out some checks. There was myself and two
4:53
Speaker 5: other guys who were in the engine room and for
4:57
Speaker 5: some reason we'd played paper rocks who was down the hole?
5:01
Speaker 5: And somehow I come up worse off than the other two.
5:04
Speaker 5: So yeah, down I went, and we were just looking
5:07
Speaker 5: for leaks and just hoping that everything held together as
5:11
Speaker 5: it should to put the boat through its paces.
5:14
Speaker 4: Jeordie Rockerbunting grew up in Townshill, Queensland. In nineteen eighty seven,
5:18
Speaker 4: at the age of just seventeen, he joined the Navy, seeking,
5:22
Speaker 4: in his words, adventure and opportunity.
5:25
Speaker 5: It got me out of North Queensland to go and
5:27
Speaker 5: do something that I never thought i'd do. I joined
5:30
Speaker 5: up as an apprentice, starting with training out at patrem Mason,
5:33
Speaker 5: remember in Quaker's Hill in Sydney. I had no idea
5:39
Speaker 5: where I wanted to be, and then at a point
5:43
Speaker 5: in time a road show came around trying to wrestle
5:47
Speaker 5: up submaranas.
5:49
Speaker 4: Not many people can say they got married in a submarine,
5:52
Speaker 4: but after Bunting became a submarine, he loved it so
5:55
Speaker 4: much that he took his vows on one of the
5:57
Speaker 4: old Oberon class boats.
6:00
Speaker 6: I was married on Hma s Ovans.
6:03
Speaker 5: My wife decided she wanted a water side wedding and
6:06
Speaker 5: for whatever reason, she convinced me to get married on
6:09
Speaker 5: the casing of a submarine.
6:12
Speaker 6: That was thirty two years ago.
6:14
Speaker 4: Funting served in the Oberon boats as an apprenticed fitter
6:17
Speaker 4: machinist before moving over to the Commins class submarines, eventually
6:21
Speaker 4: joining the crew of the Deshana in late two thousand
6:23
Speaker 4: and two. On that fateful day in February two thousand
6:27
Speaker 4: and three, as the submarine glided down to its deepest
6:30
Speaker 4: diving depth to test its systems, Funting's job was to
6:34
Speaker 4: stand in the lower motor room and keep an eye
6:36
Speaker 4: on a newly replaced hose, which was exposed to sea
6:40
Speaker 4: pressure as the submarine approached its deepest diving depth. His
6:44
Speaker 4: gaze was fixed on that new hose when suddenly he
6:48
Speaker 4: was knocked off his feet.
6:51
Speaker 5: There was a sharp hiss and then an almighty explosion bang,
6:57
Speaker 5: And the next thing I remember was, shit, it's getting
6:59
Speaker 5: pretty cold. It was fearfully cold, and there was a
7:03
Speaker 5: lot of water coming in. I can remember screaming out
7:06
Speaker 5: at the top of my voice, not that I thought
7:08
Speaker 5: it was heard, that we were flooding, and then yeah,
7:14
Speaker 5: it was like being stuck in a washing machine.
7:16
Speaker 6: It was just round and round and round.
7:19
Speaker 4: Bunting did not yet know it, but a different hose
7:22
Speaker 4: had broken, spraying icy seawater into the small room at
7:26
Speaker 4: a pressure strong enough to sweep him off his feet.
7:28
Speaker 4: Such was the force that a heavy piece of metal
7:31
Speaker 4: attached to the hoses to help keep them in place.
7:34
Speaker 4: Flu just sent to meters from Bunning's head, avoiding what
7:37
Speaker 4: would almost certainly have been a fatal blow.
7:41
Speaker 5: Something flew past and clipped my head and hit something
7:44
Speaker 5: and flew back, but it was all split second stuff
7:48
Speaker 5: that went on.
7:49
Speaker 4: The metal elbows zoomed past the front of his head,
7:52
Speaker 4: hit a wall, and we bounded behind his head, miraculously
7:55
Speaker 4: missing him both times.
7:58
Speaker 6: To Remember the space wasn't much bigger than a far box.
8:00
Speaker 5: It's only a very very small space when you're sort
8:03
Speaker 5: of hunched over to be in there, and it's probably
8:05
Speaker 5: a little bit, probably a couple of meters wide that
8:07
Speaker 5: you've got a deck platform that you're on. But I
8:12
Speaker 5: kept trying to make my way to the ladder, but
8:14
Speaker 5: then getting washed back, and then I'd be at the
8:15
Speaker 5: ladder again because it was very much in a whirlpool
8:18
Speaker 5: type situation.
8:20
Speaker 4: You were trying to get up out of the manhole in.
8:22
Speaker 5: The roof, which would have got you trying to get
8:24
Speaker 5: to the man hole. But I ended up getting gemmed
8:26
Speaker 5: on the other side of the ladder, between the ladder
8:29
Speaker 5: and the main motor I was on the wrong side
8:32
Speaker 5: of the ladder.
8:33
Speaker 4: Where's your head under the water?
8:34
Speaker 5: At any point, I was under the wood most of
8:36
Speaker 5: the time. It was sort of up. It was yeah,
8:38
Speaker 5: it was cold. It was vicious.
8:40
Speaker 4: Abel Seaman Greeg Sullivan, who was stationed nearby in the
8:43
Speaker 4: engine room. Builge heard the explosion and the roar of
8:47
Speaker 4: the water as soon as Sullivan walked through the door
8:50
Speaker 4: towards the hatch leading down to the lower motor room,
8:53
Speaker 4: where Bunting was he saw how much trouble both Rocker
8:56
Speaker 4: and the submarine were in.
8:58
Speaker 8: He went back there there was water spray and missed.
9:01
Speaker 8: As soon as we went through the door, we didn't
9:04
Speaker 8: see Rocker. So we looked down the hatch to the
9:06
Speaker 8: village area and that's where the water was, obviously, and
9:09
Speaker 8: lots of it and in it.
9:12
Speaker 4: Bunting, who was pinned under the water by the pressure,
9:15
Speaker 4: said his initial panic was replaced by a strange calm.
9:19
Speaker 4: Looking back now, he believes he was starting to drown.
9:25
Speaker 5: I don't know whether it's your body coping with stress
9:30
Speaker 5: or with with an issue. But everything went quiet. Everything
9:37
Speaker 5: went very, very quiet, and I can remember seeing my
9:39
Speaker 5: wife AA and my daughters. I saw a vision of them,
9:42
Speaker 5: but it was I was at peace. Your body does
9:45
Speaker 5: amazing things to protect your protect you from trauma, and
9:50
Speaker 5: I'd guess that was one of them.
9:52
Speaker 4: Bunting was fading in and out of consciousness when suddenly
9:55
Speaker 4: he felt handsome above clutching at his shoulders. Greg Sullivan
10:00
Speaker 4: and petty Officer Michael Morris were reaching down through the
10:03
Speaker 4: hatch into the flooded motor room to try to fish
10:06
Speaker 4: him out.
10:07
Speaker 5: I got grabbed arm, which was probably one of the
10:10
Speaker 5: most relieving feelings that I've ever had. But the two
10:13
Speaker 5: guys who found me grabbed me by the epaulets on
10:16
Speaker 5: the shoulders and morals managed to sculdrap me out of there.
10:20
Speaker 6: I don't know how.
10:22
Speaker 5: I'm not a small guy, but somehow they lifted me
10:24
Speaker 5: straight out. They knew I was down there, and obviously
10:27
Speaker 5: they'd come back to find me, and that sticks with me.

11:17
Speaker 4: In moments of intense action, our brain signals to the
11:20
Speaker 4: body to send a rush of adrenaline into the bloodstream,
11:23
Speaker 4: giving us a huge burst of energy and strength. We
11:25
Speaker 4: might not know we had That's doubtless what was happening
11:28
Speaker 4: to Greg Sullivan and Michael Morris as they reached down
11:31
Speaker 4: into the hole in the submarine's main deck to haul
11:34
Speaker 4: Jordi Bunting up.
11:36
Speaker 3: I don't know how it put him out.
11:38
Speaker 8: I remember once we got him up, I pulled him
11:39
Speaker 8: over to the side and sat him down. He was white,
11:43
Speaker 8: I presume him from cold and fear. Also, I'm not
11:47
Speaker 8: sure if I said it or just thought it, but
11:49
Speaker 8: why are we not moving up yet? As they had
11:51
Speaker 8: blown ballast. That was probably the scariest bit waiting for
11:55
Speaker 8: the boat to start going up.
11:58
Speaker 4: All vessels have capacity to carry what it's called ballast
12:01
Speaker 4: or extra weight, to help with buoyancy instability. In the submarine,
12:05
Speaker 4: the ballast tanks are filled with sea water. When the
12:07
Speaker 4: submarine needs to dive, and when it's time to surface,
12:10
Speaker 4: compressed areas blown into the tanks to force the water out,
12:13
Speaker 4: lightning the boat. Even Sullivan, who was busy saving Bunting's life,
12:18
Speaker 4: was aware that the submarine was not responding as it
12:21
Speaker 4: should have to the flood. It wasn't going up. Here's
12:24
Speaker 4: Peter Scott.
12:26
Speaker 2: So we are aptiep diving depth. The submarine is under
12:30
Speaker 2: as much pressure as you would design the submarine.
12:35
Speaker 3: To operate out and we run a major flood somewhere
12:38
Speaker 3: back after.
12:38
Speaker 2: In the submarine, when you go to emergency stations like this,
12:42
Speaker 2: you're getting ready for anything.
12:44
Speaker 3: So you're getting ready for fires and so on.
12:46
Speaker 2: So there's people getting dressed into fire fining gear and
12:50
Speaker 2: breathing masks and all that sort of stuff.
12:53
Speaker 3: So a lot going on, but all in.
12:58
Speaker 2: A remarkably cool sort of manner. I'm standing for it
13:04
Speaker 2: in the control room, but quite central, so in between
13:07
Speaker 2: the two main periscopes, which obviously lowered because we're at
13:11
Speaker 2: diving stations. So the control room is full of people.
13:15
Speaker 2: It's a very small space. There's a lot of gear
13:18
Speaker 2: in there, but there's somewhat at every station, and more so,
13:24
Speaker 2: the first person I'm clocking is the XO who is
13:28
Speaker 2: duty command and the watch leader, just to get a
13:33
Speaker 2: sense of where they're at. You do it without thinking,
13:38
Speaker 2: but your attention is moving around the.
13:40
Speaker 3: Control room so very quickly.
13:42
Speaker 2: There's a lot of orders and reports coming in and
13:44
Speaker 2: out of the control room. They would, I think be
13:48
Speaker 2: completely unintelligible to someone who was not understanding what was
13:52
Speaker 2: going on. A lot of information moving back and forwards
13:56
Speaker 2: quite quickly. So the chief of the bat probably experienced
14:01
Speaker 2: senior sailor on the submarine is on the planes. He's
14:04
Speaker 2: quite a character, very laconic sort of fellow, so he's
14:07
Speaker 2: just cool as Mustard. Just sat there, flicks the bait
14:11
Speaker 2: up to twenty up and holds it there the entire
14:14
Speaker 2: way up. So for we had the signar operators, so
14:19
Speaker 2: they were having a pretty quiet day. There wasn't a
14:21
Speaker 2: whole lot out there, but they need to kick in
14:24
Speaker 2: the gear because quite apart from the flood, it can
14:27
Speaker 2: be it can be dangerous bringing a submarine from deep
14:32
Speaker 2: up to periscope depth because your situational awareness changes.
14:36
Speaker 3: You know and understand what's happening.
14:40
Speaker 2: At that depth, you don't necessarily know and understand what
14:43
Speaker 2: you're coming up to. So they're switched on operating their
14:48
Speaker 2: sonars to check for any sort of sign of life
14:52
Speaker 2: or shipping or whatever up above us and make sure
14:54
Speaker 2: that we're safe to actually come.
14:56
Speaker 4: Up without knowing seriously damaged to submarine was Commander Scott's
15:02
Speaker 4: immediate task was to urgently gather speed to give the
15:06
Speaker 4: DeShane of the momentum to climb back towards the surface,
15:10
Speaker 4: while at the same time blowing all of its ballast
15:13
Speaker 4: tanks to make the submarine as light as possible. Scott
15:17
Speaker 4: order the submarine to climb on a twenty degree angle,
15:19
Speaker 4: twice the normal angle of a cent, causing coffee cups
15:22
Speaker 4: in the mess area to slide off the tables and
15:25
Speaker 4: crash to the ground.
15:27
Speaker 2: We have emergency operating procedures for any major casualty like that,
15:32
Speaker 2: a flood of fire, hydraulic burst. They're exceptionally well trained
15:36
Speaker 2: and drilled, and they just kicked in our action. We're
15:41
Speaker 2: propelling at full speed. We drive the submarine so that
15:45
Speaker 2: we get about a twenty degree bow up, which is
15:48
Speaker 2: not extreme, but it's you know, you're trying to get
15:52
Speaker 2: to the roof.
15:53
Speaker 4: Submarines have vows in the whole that allow small amounts
15:56
Speaker 4: of seawaters to flow in and out for purposes like cooling.
16:00
Speaker 4: Dushena's last line of defense. With the ultimate order in
16:03
Speaker 4: the Navy's emergency operating procedures, shut all whole valves.
16:09
Speaker 6: Would it help?
16:10
Speaker 4: Commander Scott did not know.
16:13
Speaker 3: So you hit that shuttle.
16:15
Speaker 2: Hule valves function, and the scores of hull valves that
16:19
Speaker 2: are doing different jobs around the submarine are shut immediately,
16:23
Speaker 2: So we didn't know it at the time, but that
16:26
Speaker 2: actually stopped the ingressive water into l Laomo. What we
16:30
Speaker 2: didn't know was how much water we had taken on
16:33
Speaker 2: what had caused the flood.
16:36
Speaker 4: Commander Scott did not know it at that moment, but
16:39
Speaker 4: the final order of that emergency operating procedure, the cry
16:42
Speaker 4: of shut all hull valves, had the effect of successfully
16:46
Speaker 4: closing the external ocean exposed valves across the submarine. Crucially,
16:52
Speaker 4: this also blocked the flood of seawater into the lower
16:55
Speaker 4: mosor room with in the space of between ten and
16:58
Speaker 4: fifteen seconds, and astonishing twelve to fifteen thousand liters of
17:03
Speaker 4: seawater had already poured in. The question of the survival
17:07
Speaker 4: of the crew was now a simple one. Had the
17:09
Speaker 4: Dashino taken on more seawater than it had released by
17:13
Speaker 4: blowing the ballasts. Here's Melanie Ellerton.
17:17
Speaker 3: Everything just kind of froze.
17:20
Speaker 7: It was definitely like a pause and time that does
17:23
Speaker 7: holding that breath and just going.
17:26
Speaker 8: Are we coming back up? Yeah.
17:31
Speaker 4: The chief engineer, John Ryan, who had been with command
17:34
Speaker 4: to Scott when the flood alerted, sounded ran from the
17:36
Speaker 4: front of the submarine to the back to give Scott
17:39
Speaker 4: a first hand report at the accident. Ryan sprinted at
17:42
Speaker 4: full speed down the narrow corridors, at one point passing
17:46
Speaker 4: a framed quote from Shakespeare's Henry the Fifth, whoever does
17:50
Speaker 4: not have the stomach for this fight, let him depart.
17:53
Speaker 7: I needed to get to the motor room and see
17:55
Speaker 7: what was going on, so I could relay back or
17:58
Speaker 7: do what I could to stop but fix it.
18:02
Speaker 4: Was anything going through your head at that point, A.
18:07
Speaker 7: Lot of things, I think, but nothing in particular.
18:09
Speaker 6: Just shit, shit shit.
18:12
Speaker 7: So heading back there, one of the last things I
18:16
Speaker 7: had to do before I entered the engine room was
18:19
Speaker 7: to open the tunnel door, and you have to equalize
18:25
Speaker 7: the pressure either side. So I had a pause of
18:29
Speaker 7: about two seconds or so to think, like, what am
18:35
Speaker 7: I opening this too?
18:36
Speaker 6: See?
18:38
Speaker 7: As I got back closer and it was foggy, and
18:41
Speaker 7: the closer I got was missed in the air. Basically
18:44
Speaker 7: it was almost like a fog. I saw a rocker
18:48
Speaker 7: there looking very bedraggled. The flood was down there pretty sure.
18:54
Speaker 7: Michael Morris was already in the lower motor room at
18:57
Speaker 7: that stage, so I leapt down there with Michael.
19:02
Speaker 4: When John Ryan saw how much seawater had flooded the
19:04
Speaker 4: lower motor room, his heart skipped a beat. As the
19:08
Speaker 4: boat's chief engineer, no one on the Ducheno knew more
19:11
Speaker 4: about the limits of what the submarine could tolerate.
19:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, I knew we were in trouble because there was
19:16
Speaker 7: a lot of water and that stage it was still
19:20
Speaker 7: coming in. I mean, we're waist deep in water. I
19:25
Speaker 7: won't say we're scratching our heads, but we were trying
19:27
Speaker 7: to figure out where the flood came from.
19:32
Speaker 4: The surge of seawater into the lower motor room had
19:34
Speaker 4: been cut off by the shut all hull valves function.
19:38
Speaker 4: The flood had stopped, but the submarine was now weighed
19:41
Speaker 4: down by up to fifteen tons of seawater. It was
19:45
Speaker 4: as if two African elephants had just walked on board.
19:49
Speaker 4: But even Bunting, who was barely conscious after his near drowning,
19:53
Speaker 4: realized that something was now very wrong with the submarine.
19:57
Speaker 4: He kept waiting for the boat to start climbing. Never did.
20:03
Speaker 5: The crew were doing the best they can to bring
20:05
Speaker 5: this thing back, bearing in mind that we were very
20:09
Speaker 5: very heavy in the eyes. The angle at the boat
20:15
Speaker 5: was on was pretty scary.
20:19
Speaker 4: John Ryan.
20:19
Speaker 7: Again, I'm a positive sort of person, so I mean,
20:24
Speaker 7: when we had the bower there was a sort of
20:27
Speaker 7: a pause of ten or fifteen seconds. I just put
20:30
Speaker 7: my arm around Laurie and said, we're going to be
20:33
Speaker 7: all right, mate. Really yeah, I wasn't sure.
20:37
Speaker 4: But for those who could bear to look, their eyes
20:44
Speaker 4: were fixed upon the depth gauge, the single dial that
20:47
Speaker 4: would effectively tell them whether they were going to live
20:51
Speaker 4: or die. It did not move for the longest time,
20:55
Speaker 4: leaving the crew frozen in fear.
20:58
Speaker 2: The boat just hung for what seemed like an eternity
21:06
Speaker 2: and then began to slowly sing.

Speaker 7: On the Flood, I mean the water was swirling. We
21:29
Speaker 7: yield up to isolate some of the equipment so that
21:31
Speaker 7: it didn't fry, or we didn't fry with.
21:34
Speaker 4: What was the granger there?
21:36
Speaker 3: It's electrocution. We were standing waist deep in seawater.
