Transportation disasters occurred every day across the world. Most disasters are learned from which makes travel safer for everyone today. We tell the story of these disasters so they will not be forgotten.
A "cornfield meet" is an old term used where two steam trains collide head-on in a field out in the country. We use this term to represent the meeting of transportation with a disaster.
Climb aboard with your host Michele Sargent and co-hosts Andy Sargent (Sargent Signals) or Mel Bee as they take you through the history of accidents in transportation (rail, air, water, and road) on this weekly podcast!

Episode 070.2: (Water) The Edmund Fitzgerald - Part 2
Part 2 of 2.
SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men. When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes, and she remains the largest to have sunk there. She was located in deep water on November 14, 1975 by a U.S. Navy aircraft detecting magnetic anomalies, and found soon afterwards to be in two large pieces.

Customer Reviews
High hopes
Less chit chat and giggling.
Seriously, these topics are not to be taken lightly but should be presented with more respect.
High hopes for this podcast, and will keep listening with the hope the style changes with a more formal tone
Bad!
Absolutely, without a doubt, a bunch of fools who have nothing better to do with their time! A silly old coot who continually uses the ‘f’ word on a podcast, and presenters who can’t present without the need to read from news articles written by others - not to mention the cat in the background, or the ‘f-google’ references, these hillbilly’s might as well just redirect the few listeners they have to news articles rather than annoy with arrogance. Also a lack of knowledge for rail related fact is demonstrated through out! Bad, really bad!
