Sunday - Daniel Rocks

Television (Excerpts) – 2011

I hope they're looking down on me. It's something I always think about.

– Rockhouse in 2015, upon receiving the New Zealand Bravery Medal

I was just doing my job, and I was just helping a workmate in need.

– Daniel Rockhouse

Daniel's my man. Daniel is a hero in my eyes. I couldn't look up to anybody more than Daniel. He just rocks.

– Jo Smith, wife of Russell Smith, the man Daniel dragged a kilometre to safety

I was coughing. The gases that I was inhaling made my eyes water like I had onions in my eyes. It was just a constant flow of water coming down my face, and by that stage my body had taken too much gas, and I collapsed.

– Daniel Rockhouse on what happened after the first explosion
