The Empire State Building Disaster of 1945 | Episode 57
By popular demand, we are staying in the Depression Era and doubling down on the disaster. We’ve done blended and mixed disasters before, but welcome to our very first two-fer plane and elevator episode. On today’s episode: you’ll hear about the highest stakes game of keep-away ever, the worst kind of airline fuel to use as shampoo, and you’ll hear about a woman who broke a table in half with her face before setting a world record for not dying. And speaking of tid bits and tangents, I’d like to point out that if you were listening to this episode as a Patreon member, not only would you have heard it sooner and add-free, but this episode would be almost 10 MINUTES longer as we looked into the most unusual “self-guided tours” off the Empire State Building, how easy it was to score free smack in 1945, the legend of Killdozer, and a conspiracy-free take on how cheap real estate contributed to 9/11 By the end of this episode, you won’t believe how many people have flown into NYC - literally. The B-25 crash was so intense and bizarre, it actually pushed actual World War II off the front pages of newspapers – for about a minute. But, as does happen throughout history, it was all but immediately purged from the public memory by the bombing of Hiroshima just a week later ––––– THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn’t exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it’s been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone. I don’t do this for you, so much as I do this because of you.
