The Interstate-5 Dustsaster of 1991 | Episode 67

Doomsday: History's Most Dangerous Podcast

If you got something in your eye, you should rinse it with water or eye drops to try and wash it out. Fair warning: there is not enough over-the-counter eyedrops in the world that would help with today’s story.
On this episode: we’ll learn all the ways your car wants to kill you, we’ll learn which member of the original Thanksgiving feast ended up with their head on a pike for 25 years, and we’ll find out what happens when you play rock paper scissors bumper plow.
This is the first episode we’ve done where the site of the catastrophe later became an annual sporting event recreating the event. The Frank Rockslide Disaster of 1903 stands as one of the most devastating and tragic events in the history of Alberta and was claimed to be the worst disaster that has even befallen any community in Western Canada.
Celebrity guests include: my wife, aggrieved driver; highway enthusiast, Dwight D. Eisenhower; historical revisionist, Abraham Lincoln;massacre enthusiast, Massachusetts Bay Governor, John Winthrop; and holiday-travel enthusiast, Dante of Dante’s Inferno fame.
And if you had been listening on Patreon, you would have enjoyed an additional 10.5 minutes where we discussed:
• landing planes on highways
• how bizarre the Mandela Effect is
• we look at the weird, dark origins of Thanksgiving
• we found out why TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers hate Plymouth Rock
• we look into why people suck at driving
• and the history of the Cannonball Run
