1979 Luna Park Ghost Train fire: Accident or arson?

Seven people, including six children, died in a horrific fire at Sydney’s Luna Park in 1979.  Investigators at the time found an electrical fault was to blame.  

The ABC’s investigative journalist Caro Meldrum-Hannah is hosting a new three-part series investigating the blaze.  She found the survivors, who for the first time, have had a chance to tell their story.  

The blaze erupted on a cold June night more than 40 years ago.   It has never been adequately investigated – until now.

Was it an accident, or arson?
