Welcome to the show where everything goes wrong, historically. A podcast covering disasters of all kinds throughout history. From tornadoes and earthquakes to mining disasters and arson. From the perspective of a professional fire investigator, I provide the history of the area, a breakdown of how and why the disaster occurs, a timeline of the event, and the resulting aftermath. Sometimes delving into the specific failure mechanisms that occurred if the disaster (or disasters) did not come from nature. Listen along as we go through them together.© 2021 Disastrous History Mundial

Disaster stories told well. I appreciate the detailed introductions which help me to understand the background and flawed assumptions which make many of the disasters almost unavoidable. I keep coming back! Thanks Anthony.

I keep coming back!

Really enjoying this disaster podcast. Is it the most indepth, super detailed podcast out there? No. But it is entertaining, gives you the details of the disasters, and is fun to listen too. Really like the details Anthony brings from working in the fire world, his insight there really shines.

Fun disaster podcast

The storyteller certainly knows how to "beat a dead horse"! Listening to the repetition and needless explanations makes one feel like a child without understanding. Sorry.

Terrible!
