It's August 5th, 1922. Hundreds of people are gathered on the shores of Victoria's Gorge Waterway watching in awe as a 19-year-old daredevil climbs a 34-metre dive tower. The diver is Billy Muir, and he's about to swan dive into the waterway, a jump that would eventually cost him his life. Author Dennis Minaker joins the guys to discuss the historic Gorge waterway and the controversial tower that was eventually dismantled after Muir's tragic dive. (Interview begins at 1:45)
