Dreamworld tragedy witness describes 'sheer panic' moment, 10 years on

Key points

  • Ten years after four people died on the Thunder River Rapids ride at Dreamworld, witnesses are still recalling the scene. On October 25, 2016, a pump failure left a raft stranded and another raft collided with it.
  • A coronial inquest later found systemic failures, and Queensland introduced tougher theme park rules.
  • Dreamworld says it has strengthened safety, but a safety expert argues boards of directors should face greater accountability.
