  Terror Beneath Montreal

  Aug 6, 202626 min

  Send us Fan Mail Description: From political violence and deadly bombings to suspicious packages, smoke-filled tunnels, and mass evacuations, Montreal's Metro has repeatedly found itself at the center of major emergencies. In this episode of Crash Lessons , we explore the FLQ bombing campaign, the 1984 Central Station bombing, the security changes brought by 9/11, and the modern incidents that continue to bring parts of the Metro to a halt. Some threats were real. Others were false alarms. But each one revealed an important lesson about emergency response, public fear, and how quickly uncertainty can spread beneath a city.

  Miracle in the Andes

  Jul 24, 202631 min

  Send us Fan Mail In October 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crashed high in the Andes Mountains, leaving 33 survivors stranded nearly 12,000 feet above sea level. What followed was a 72-day fight for survival against starvation, freezing temperatures, avalanches, and impossible choices. In this episode of Crash Lessons , we dive into one of the most extraordinary survival stories ever recorded. From the navigational error that doomed the flight, to the desperate struggle on the mountain, to the incredible expedition that ultimately led to rescue, this is the story of the 16 people who made it home—and the 29 who never did.

  Centralia: The Disaster Beneath Their Feet

  Jul 16, 202627 min

  Send us Fan Mail A fire that was never meant to last more than a few hours… has now been burning for over sixty years. In 1962, a routine landfill burn in Centralia, Pennsylvania ignited something no one could control — an underground coal seam fire that would slowly consume the town from below. What followed wasn’t a sudden catastrophe, but a long, quiet disaster marked by toxic gas, collapsing ground, and a community forced to make an impossible decision: stay, or leave everything behind.In this episode, we explore how a normal mining town became one of the most haunting environmental disasters in North America — and why, decades later, the fire is still burning.

  Thread-25: The Software that Killed

  Jul 8, 202631 min

  Send us Fan Mail In the 1980s, a state-of-the-art radiation machine was supposed to save lives. But patients started coming back with burns that didn’t make sense… pain that shouldn’t have been possible… and symptoms doctors didn’t believe. The machine said everything was fine. It wasn’t. This is the story of the Therac‑25 — and what happens when we trust technology more than people.
