Tannos said he was shocked to hear of a landslide on the track, calling it “just a terrible tragedy.” Clarke added that a multi-agency rescue effort was launched on Monday afternoon to rescue the family, which included NSW police, Fire and Rescue NSW and NSW SES. “What was concerning more so after the fact was the concern that there were still noises being heard after the initial impact, which poses a significant risk to the patients as well as our people being sent in.”
