    BONUS: Episode 9A: An Unreached Mountain

    On this bonus true crime companion episode, Bryce travels to Denver, Colorado, where the crash of another airplane, along the same route as flight 409, raises suspicions about what really happened. The case would go on to live in infamy as the second of its kind to ever occur in the United States, and the first in which cameras would be allowed into a court of law. Audiences should listen to Episode 9: Mystery on Medicine Bow before diving in.

    BONUS: Episode 5A: Fraud in the Falls

    Surprise! We weren't done with this week's disaster story. Listeners are strongly encouraged to listen to Episode 5: They Won't Stop Coming before listening to this one.  

    On this surprise bonus true crime companion episode, Bryce travels far outside our jurisdiction to Juneau, Alaska where Special Forces Army Captain William James Clark is shopping for ATVs at a gun show in 2010. An unexpected connection to the I-40 bridge collapse complicates the disaster response and changes our understanding of the aftermath of that May day.
