I've removed SylvieKloots comment

I don't want to see this video/comment thread turn into a verbal abuse area...

Keep up the tributes and general commenting =]

I'm just going to delete any nonsense that comes onto this video.

Wow Wtf, what back water country do you come from?

Australia is the only developed nation in the world to grow and expand during the recession, so how can you call us a third world country?

@sapphire60s TOO TRUE!!! I am a Survivor and am STILL Trying to get my life back!!!

Too many people LOVE to Try to be involved/ victims etc etc...We ARE the real victims and we were Maybe saved as i was...By a Miracle..Though so so many of my lifetime friends were not..

I think you Would agree...That we would Both prefer to never ever have this happen and Not be victims ???

R.I.P to ALL !!!!!

[sapphire60s]

@MrZethyo Sorry, don't wish to be mean but you are not a victim, never call yourself that. If you were in the middle of this horror, as I was, trapped and terrified, waiting to die, you call yourself a survivor, as I do.

We need the world to see, to understand why it will take us many years to get over this, if we ever fully do.

All hail our heroes, the CFA, so many lost their homes while protecting us, other citizens who stood tall, put aside their fear and helped others.

Strange when you see pictures of burned out homes that the only things left standing are the fireplaces and chimneys - where the fire should have been!

@soupey101 same here this made me wanna become a firefighter, Volentreering is great .

[soupey101]

Seeing this sort of stuff made me become a volunteer firefighter. Why sit idle when we can be out there attempting to make a change.

@kilmalletgodsortmout for me, i am most proud to be a Volunteer firefighter and to now be apart of a legacy of heroes, i always looked up to them a a kid, and now i am one. i am so happy to be apart of that now.

@MrZethyo He/she put this on so people can remember that faithful day. I was a victim as well mate, but I had never looked back at this for a long time now. Long live the towns that fell! For they are now rebuilt. R.I.P everybody who was lost on that day. It will still haunt us all.

@Biebermaniac245

Ash Wednesday 1983 was even closer ... Despite how disastrous Black Saturday was, Ash Wednesday filled Melbourne with still burning leaves and the smoke and smell was quite thick.

Even though the winds were going the other way... it was amazing how little smoke was in Melbourne ... you wouldn't have known what was happening unless you looked north.

Melbourne certainly lacked the atmosphere of what was going on.

When the cool change came in the late evening; i thought to myself well the danger has passed an i went to bed. Then at about 3 am someone in my street said we are losing towns an people, i jumped up an started to cry thinking omg in the distance i could see the glow of red an i prayed that it would pass without grief but that was to be put into a tragic context. But we are Australians we banded together an we came when someone needed a hand an we will always prevail. We will remember....
