In Episode 60, Emily talks about an act of God so terrible it impacted the entire world - the 1960 Valdivia, Chile Earthquake. The only earthquake to reach a 9.5 on the Richter Scale. 

Then Rachel takes us to Paradise, Michigan to talk about the tragic tale of two ships heading out on Lake Superior and only one returning. This is the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald, a ship that was lost with her entire crew of 29 men on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975. 

Hopefully, you're horrified!
