Feel uncomfortable about this one. 20 years of media experience say Sensationism at its best. Grave robber, don't know the full story, wasn't there.
Grave Robber? Some Russians make a living out of it. French school boys did the same for years after the war.
Must be the only site in Oz with bones unaccounted for. Hard to believe there would be bodies present. Look at the work the VV/SQD do to recover their own.

Default Poor reporting

Mike Munro ambushed that man and I think made a fool of himself in the process. As I understand it, there are some interesting details the so-called reporter chose not to mention. The man who claimed to have resigned in disgust had in fact been sacked sometime earlier. The poor bloke who was castigated was a volunteer who had been asked by the RAAF to recover the parts and was doing it with the best intentions of honoring the memory of those who had died.
Those parts can now be used for that purpose rather than slowly turn to useless powder in an almost unreachable marsh.
I agree with Robert's comment about decking the reporter. I had to stop the replay for a while just to calm down.
