THE 1970 BHOLA CYCLONE: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Who’s to blame for the Bhola Cyclone?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes guest Scotty Landes (Bananas Podcast) to discuss the deadliest cyclone in history. How did the Bhola Cyclone claim the lives of an estimated 500,000 people off the coast of East Pakistan (modern-day Bangladesh)? Were there not enough shelters for people to evacuate to? Did the strained relationship between East and West Pakistan hold back necessary aid? Why does patriarchy once again make it up on the list? OG Producer Amanda Lund and Fact Checker Chris Smith join the conversation.
