    Lone Survivor: Final Answer

    Would you believe a man survived an airplane crash in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and no one could locate him or the crash for thirty-six hours! Then, when rescued, it still didn't make the top story! What was happening in Washington D.C that had everyone's attention? Do you know the answer? Find out on this episode of Top Fold. Top Fold is dedicated to, "All the news that would have been". What does that mean? That means that on 9/11, or when the Hindenburg exploded, or Elvis Presley died, headlines were replaced and stories fell below the fold. What event happened that was huge but wasn’t talked about because something else monumental took the headlines? The name of the podcast comes from a combination of "TOP Story" and "Above the FOLD"-TOP FOLD. Original music by David "Beezer" Wagler.
