- The two men survived 14 days trapped underground in 2006.

## Summary

Brant Webb says he regrets publicly revealing that he disliked fellow Beaconsfield mine survivor Todd Russell just two days after Russell died from cancer. Webb says he was grieving and drunk during the interview, and accepts that the timing was insensitive, while standing by what he said about their relationship.

In 2006, a rockfall triggered by a 2.2-magnitude tremor trapped Russell and Webb 900 metres underground for 14 days. Webb says he had drunk half a bottle of rum before taking the podcast call and now hopes to do something kind for Russell’s children and family. Russell’s daughter declined to comment, describing the period as personal and private; Webb also has a book about his ordeal due out later this year.
