WARNING: This episode discusses a graphic account of the 2002 Bali bombing and related PTSD issues.
On 12 Oct 2002 two bombs exploded in the Kuta district, Bali, Indonesia, destroying two popular night clubs – Paddy’s Irish Bar and the nearby Sari Club – showering the patrons with shrapnel and causing fierce fires at both sites. More than 500 people were either killed or injured in the blasts; 202 died from their injuries (88 were Australian). RAAF C-130s were central to Australia's response, conducting 14 aeromedical evacuation flights.
Peter 'Kenno' Kennedy was a C-130 loadmaster, and he crewed the second RAAF C-130 into Denpasar airport, Bali, which became the aeromedical evacuation centre in the aftermath of the bombing. Kenno discusses the six hours he spent on the ground helping with triage and casualty management. Kenno also discusses his career, operations in the Middle East, and his current work: Running the charity called 'Veteran Wellbeing Foundation' which supports ADF veterans.
