Virginia Trioli: The unexpected fallout of sharing my story, and the ABC's best personal stories of 2018
- Sent, received, read but no reply — it's a modern communication nightmare - pommish and y Dou glass
Within the last couple of days, I’ve learned two things about the sinking of the Titanic and I’m going to share them with you. The first is that the discovery of the wreckage of the Titanic by ocean explorer Bob Ballard was actually a cover for the top secret investigation of two nuclear submarines during the height of the Cold War.
In 1985, Ballard’s mission was to dive to depths of 9,800 feet using a towed camera system called Argo to find and document the imploded remains of the Scorpion. The objective of the mission was to locate the submarine’s nuclear reactor and nuclear weapons and to gain evidence to help determine what led to her loss. After concluding his successful investigations of the Scorpion, Ballard used the final 12 days of his expedition to discover the RMS Titanic at a depth of 12,540 feet.

An urgent rethink is needed on the idealised image of the ANZAC digger warns Effie Karageorgos, who has researched the experiences of Australian soldiers. The archetype of the rugged digger who shrugs off the traumatic events of war is unattainable, and the mental health consequences for soldiers can be tragic.
