Investigators behind the bombing get candid, divulging fascinating details of the hunt for clues. Suffice to say, the breakthrough comes in the most unbelievable manner.
As we kept knocking on those doors, we also managed to gain rare access to a restricted location where evidence from the bombing remains locked up.
Personally, delving deep into the horrors of the tragedy has been confronting. But it’s been heartwarming in at least one instance: We helped arrange a reunion for two people who struck a special bond on that horrific night.
For the first time, survivor Hanabeth Luke was able to speak with a photographer who captured a heroic moment as she rescued a total stranger amidst a raging fire.
The iconic picture was published across the world. Hanabeth came to be known as the ‘Angel of Bali’. In an emotional moment, she asks the Bali-based photographer if she remembers correctly – that after taking the shot, he’d helped her and the stranger escape the flames. Watch to see what transpired.
