  • Summary

  • This week, we're discussing the Texas City Industrial Accident. This disaster is considered the worst industrial accident in United States history. With over 600 dead, 5,000 injured, and over $1 billion dollars in property damage, justice wouldn't come soon enough. I want to thank you all for listening this season, new episodes will air in early May 2024.
