2022 Recap - The day three men in a tugboat prevented a disaster
Last July three men embarked on a perilous journey to stop a catastrophe from unfolding on Sydney's shoreline.
On a tugboat, in 9 metre swells, they worked for hours to prevent a cargo ship carrying fuel from ploughing into a cliff, saving the lives of 21 crew members and averting an ecological disaster.
We spoke to those men about an extraordinary rescue mission which had a nation holding its breath.
