The story of old Adolph Ruth, who used a map whiich his son had found (supposedly the old Peralta Map) to venture into the Superstitions to find the gold. He never made it out. This is the story of how he was found and others that followed.

This is the story of most famous legend of buried gold in the west.  An old prospector who mined in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona was witnessed to have possessed hi grade gold. Many men have tried trying to find his mine but noone ever has,  There is an old Apache superstition that the mountain takes revenge on those who get close.

In part two we cover a recap of the3 flood path and devastation, survivor and media accounts,  causes and blame,including the 2016 report, Clara Barton's efforts with the Red Cross, and the Johnstown floods of 1936 and 1977, showing that Johnstown still isn't safe from being destroyed again.

Nikola Tesla was an American electrical engineer and inventor who made significant bounds in the areas of electrical applications, motors, remote controlled boats, dynamos, and the invention of alternating current motors which could power cars. To honor Tesla's contribution, Elon Musk, the head of the electric car company Tesla, named his company after the great inventor. One of the least known of Tesla's many projects was the particle accelerator, which some people have named the "Death Ray". In this story we discuss Tesla as well as the story of the legendary Ark of the Covenant, which the Jews used to terrify their enemies. It was a wooden box lined with gold which, according to biblical accounts, emitted a deadly energy source that would kill anyone who touched it. At the end of our story Tesla gives his opinion as to how the Ark got its power.

On May 31st 1889 the earthen dam holding back Lake Conemaugh 15 bmiles upstream from Johnstown, PA burst duriung heavy spring rains, sending a 40 foot wave of death down a narrow river valley in which was located 80,000 persons, and finally reaching Johnstown with houses, alive and dead persons, trees, and scrap of all types, which caught on fire when it all hit the bridge at Johnstown, literally roasting many survivors alive in the conflagration. We feature survivor and author accounts in part one, and in part 2 we deal with the aftermath and investigations. This is a unique history lesson in that there had been warnings, and there had been prior floods- and no action was taken to shore up the dam which caused all the deaths.

TSUNAMI  WAVES OF DEATH: Deep below the surface of the Indian Ocean, near the island of Sumatra, two portions of the Earth's crust which had been pushing against each other for the past milennia, one plate, actually the India Plate, gave way along a 1,000 mile faultline, creating a huge fissure in the sea floor as it subducted beneath the pressing Burma Plate, suddenly displacing trillions of tons of water, and causing powerful shock waves in every direction, waves that would introduce untold death and destruction to 14 countries within the coming minutes and hours, causing between 230,000 and 280,000 deaths and unimaginable destruction of property. It was December 26th, 2004. Less than 7 years later, a 8.9 earthquake in Japan set another group of Tsunami waves in motion which caused the loss of 5,000 lives and billions of dollars in losses, despite Japan's awareness of the threat. This episode covers the stories of the 2004 and 2011 Tsunamis, as well as giving us the science of how Tsunamis are created. I

Two woman in Nazi-occupied Paris, bith close friends over 50 years old create a daring escape line that rescued dozens of allied servicemen . With one still in prison,  one was returned to the states on a prisoner swap and wrote a tell-all book which the publishers added to to boost sales, and the one in prison was "re"-discovered and treated mercilessly. The story is a gripping qaccount of courage and fortitude, and sheds an intense light on the terror of fascist regimes.

  1001 interviews author and veteran Mark Hager regarding his new book 'The Last of the 357th Infantry Harold Frank's WWII Story of Faith & Courage- which is an incredible story of a WWII veteran who participated in the Normandy invasion as a BAR man, was wounded after 30 days on non-stop fighting during which most of his division was killed or wounded, and survived a German prison camp.. His survival is credited to the lessons he learned during the depression in North Carolina and his faith in God and family.
