The Day That Shook Newcastle - by Jessica Steens
On Thursday 28 December 1989, an earthquake struck Newcastle without warning. It was so sudden, many couldn't believe it was real. Despite the chaos, police officer Brian Campbell and nurse Theresa Brown came forward to help without hesitation. They share their chilling first-hand accounts from that day and in doing so, shed lighter on something much greater.
