Podcast #37, The Crashes of the de Havilland Comets in the 1950s

In the 37th podcast from CatastropheCast.com, we delve into the troubled history of the de Havilland Comet, and how the lessons learned from those crashes led to safer airplanes today, led to a better understanding of metal fatigue, and unwittingly gave rise to de Havilland's competitor, Boeing, taking the lead in jet airliners.

In this podcast, we talk about the potential origins, why it's called The Spanish Flu when there was no origin of the virus in Spain, and how one city avoided the second wave of the flu, only to be taken down the the third wave.

Podcast #35, The 3/11 Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Catastrophes of Tohoku, Japan

In the 35th podcast from CatastropheCast.com, we delve into the most powerful earthquake to rock Japan that has ever been recorded, and the ensuing tsunami and nuclear disaster. Also, I interview Professor Daniel Aldrich who has written a book about survival when it comes to Japan's 3/11 Catastrophes, and the surprising (to me, at least) rates of survival and how people who were more socially connected were better prepared for not just the event, but for survival afterward.

I had to take a moment to write a review for this little gem. Firstly, I am impressed with the knowledge of the host and how clearly he presents the logistics of each plane crash. Another reason I am now a fan is because of the sensitivity of the host, Walter. You can clearly tell how these crashes affect him and how much respect he has for the victims and their families. I have definitely subscribed and look forward to many more episodes. Well done, Walt! Miranda Light the Fright Podcast
