transcribed from audio interview at http://abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/mediarpt/audio/hunters290802.ram starting around minute 22 or so. (Not perfectly transcribed but mostly there) Note that the audio will not be available after a couple of weeks, so listen now.
Q: what I'd really like to know is your reactions on September 11th .. could I get you to tell that story ... (snip)
.... A: No, the event by itself would not have done that. I've seen planes

to do. Now that may tell you something. I remember when I was writing that
