Yep, the "Waterhole", as it was known then, blew up in c.1993, in the days of Brad Willis and Annalise Hartman - in fact, I think those two were trapped in the pub (or maybe Brad and Beth? Can't quite remember!). So, they're basically ripping off the work of previous story writers, thinking that nobody would remember that far back. It's a shame really, but there's only so much you can do in a soap. Most of the original writing nowadays is a bit tacky. I've been an avid Neighbours viewer for many years, and continue to watch just out of habit, not merit. If I'd never seen it before, I certainly wouldn't stick with it now.
If I remember correctly I think Steven Gottlieb was left in a wheelchair after this event.
