Returning: Code 1: Minute by Minute, Nurses.

Factual series Code 1: Minute by Minute returns next week on Seven.

On 23 March 2007 a major collision that occurred in Melbourne’s busy Burnley Tunnel would affect ‘the psyche of the state.’ The crash involved multiple trucks and cars setting off an explosion and fire hot enough to melt cars. Three men were killed including gold medal cyclist Damian McDonald. 400 people were inside the tunnel and had to evacuate. It was absolute carnage compressed into three seconds.

This episode has multiple first responders including police, fire and ambulance officers. So horrifying was the scene, the police chaplain came to counsel officers. Motorists described a ‘huge’ wall of flames and a ‘fireball’. There were also ‘great escapes’.

9:10pm Monday on Seven.

It will be followed by an unaired episode of Nurses at 10:10pm.
