  • Summary

  • We all complain about commutes. We all think we have it pretty bad. But unless your commute includes choking on toxic fumes, or being claustrophobically trampled in the dark while on fire, prepare to eat your feelings.On today’s episode: we learn what makes the world capital of mud farts so fascinating; we’ll discover why Soviet utilities designed for the utilitarian benefit of the masses are so flammable; and I’ll make you understand the analogy that you don’t survive a skydive accident just to get eaten by alligators. And because you are listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you get to enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discuss: the marketing plan that included a media budget for murdering an elephant; the answer to the question, “what’s the most aggressively violent disaster your hometown completely forgot”; the reason why Transit Authority cadaver removal kits include a kind of industrial spatula; and, we learn why Trauma Professionals call this kind of injury "the barbecue effect". If you remember our Mandhradevi Temple Apocalypse of 2005 and our St. Pierre Volcanic Bio-Swarm of 1902 episodes, what made those so special were the relentless waves of terror that presented themselves one after another - each more deadly than the last. This episode follows in the spirit of those predecessors with a very special reveal in the tunnel that surprised everyone. Speaking of tunnels, it’s been a while since we’ve visited the underground and lived to talk about it. Without spoiling anything, this will be the worst underground vehicle disaster of all time, so no pressure.
