Fire is one of the most powerful and dangerous forces on this planet. Humankind has learned how to harness it to power our cities and protect our people, but we can’t really ever control it.

In this episode, I discuss:

• The Challenger Explosion

• The Chernobyl disaster

• Godzilla (1954)

• Silent Hill

• The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

• HBO’s Chernobyl
