    Ep 253: Don't trust anyone - Dr. Christopher Duntsch

    Seriously - some doctors got C's and they still get to be doctors! Today, we'll talk about Dr. Christopher Duntsch, who is a liar and a fraud and hurt A LOT of people doing surgery that he was not qualified to do.

    Ep 252: Things Could Be Worse! - 536 CE

    Let's talk about the 'worst year to be alive,' it's not this one - it's 536 CE! Of course, that's just a guess, but it's an educated guess because we know that there was a volcano that blotted out the sun - and THAT was the beginning of a mini-ice age that ushered in famine, mass migration, wars, and the plague!     Some Sources  Cooling and societal change during the Late Antique Little Ice Age (536 to around 660 CE) https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/items/072ba4aa-014e-4f87-8fc7-334ebf876f1f Why 536 was ‘the worst year to be alive' https://www.science.org/content/article/why-536-was-worst-year-be-alive Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life!  patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPod We would love to hear from you!

    Ep 251: They're Out There - Lost Cosmonauts

    How far do you think humanity went during the Space Race? Do you think that we (and really, we mean humanity) let people go out to space and just left them there???

    Ep 250: Taylor's Goriest Episode - The Halifax Explosion

    Let's talk about the 3rd biggest man-made explosion ever (only eclipsed by the nuclear bombs). In 1917, ships were zooming back and forth between North America and Europe - bringing men (boys), supplies, ammunition, you name it, to the efforts of WWI.   In December, a French ship called the SS Mont-Blanc is filled to the brim with the most explosives imaginable, when they get to Halifax and an empty Norwegian ship, the Imo, sails on the wrong side of the harbor. The slow (like 6mph) collision has insane consequences you have to hear to believe!  Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life!  patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPod We would love to hear from you!

    Ep 249: An Almost Disaster - The Citigroup Center

    Let's talk about the almost-disaster of The Citigroup Center - 601 Lexington Ave in NYC. This building was built on a lot that wasn't empty when they got there, and they made an objectively weird deal with a church on the corner: they would build their building over the church's footprint.   This caused the building to be built on stilts - everything SEEMED ok until some people did some math & the right people were finally alerted. A huge (secret) retrofit was undertaken before the building destroyed the neighborhood.    Taylor continues to not be able to believe she worked on the 38th floor of a NYC building for years.   Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life!  patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPod We would love to hear from you!

    Ep 248: MOVE - The Bombing of Philadelphia

    So! It's 1985, and we're in Philadelphia, PA. A group called MOVE has moved into the neighborhood - and they are a little annoying. They have a bullhorn where they talk about human rights very loudly, their kids don't go to school, and they might have guns (but they probably don't work). The city decides to do a good old-fashioned siege to get the members of MOVE out of their rowhouse. There are 13 people in the house, half of whom are children. The city brings a reasonable group of 500 police officers, A TOMMY GUN (among others), and ultimately, a bomb.    Source - https://collaborativehistory.gse.upenn.edu/stories/move-osage-avenue Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life!  patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPod We would love to hear from you!

    Ep 247: Contaminated - The Goiânia Accident

    Let's talk about a real accidental nuclear accident - it's economic collapse, tied to poor security, that leads to deaths. In Brazil, while the economy collapsed in the 1980s, people tended to find scrap metal in buildings, including those that used to be hospitals, and those hospitals, in this case, had very dangerous radioactive materials left behind.   Those get stolen, and a crisis is afoot!  Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life!  patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPod We would love to hear from you!

    Ep 246: Wings of Doom! - The Mothman & The Silver Bridge

    Buckle up for an engineering disaster! In 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed, killing 46 people in the freezing Ohio River. Were there warning signs? The bridge itself passed inspections, but it was a tiny crack that was its doom... BUT people around the area had spent the past year reporting strange sightings! A man-shaped thing with glowing red eyes and wings, UFOs, Men in Black (and not the fun ones)! Was it all a warning??   Listen in to discuss how you should never go on a bridge, the logistics of sleeping with a man with bat wings, and more!  Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life!  patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPod We would love to hear from you!
