42 Wheels
42 Wheels was inspired by an incident where Douglas Crabbe drove a 25 ton Mack Truck into the crowded Inland Hotel at Yulara, killing five and injuring 16. The Supreme Court of the Northern Territory reports: "CRABBE, Douglas John Edwin... ...[2] In the early hours of 18 August 1983 the respondent drove
his 25 ton Mack Truck into a crowded bar of the Inland Hotel at Yulara. Five
persons were killed and 16 were injured... [25] The respondent walked approximately 500 metres back to his truck. He then drove the truck and two attached trailers a small distance to the Uluru Motel. At the motel the respondent unhitched one of the trailers. That was an exercise that required a degree of skill and dexterity, although it must be recognised that the respondent was very experienced in the operation of the truck and the trailers. [26] After unhitching a trailer, the respondent drove the truck and trailer back to the Inland Hotel. The affidavit of Mr Martin Fisher sworn in support of the Director's application summarises the events at the hotel as follows: "Crabbe then manoeuvred the 25 ton Semi and trailer, at speed, around a blind bend, through a car park, around a minibus, turned and drove it through the bessa brick wall into the crowded bar, crushing the people there. Leaving the engine running, he then got out of the truck, smiled down at one of his victims, stepped over some bodies and ran. This was at 1.10am. It had been 40 minutes between being thrown out and driving the truck into the bar. He was captured the next morning walking out of the bush 22 kilometres away."..."
