I assume it’s a very NZer centric response? Much like our knowledge of French terrorism, Pitcairn island, and the appropriate number of sheep per person :)

Very much so. I expect people from elsewhere haven't even heard of it, whereas for us it's the deadliest disaster in history!

I'm Indian. Have heard about TE901 and Pitcairn island. Don't know about sheep or French terrorism - though I can hold forth on colonialism in general :)
