Doomsday: History's Most Dangerous Podcast

The Enschede Fireworks Disaster of 2000 | Episode 70


Listen Later

In this episode, homes and buildings will sadly be blown away and destroyed, and you’ll say “fireworks?” and I’ll say “it sure does”. 

On this episode: we look at the Netherlands pyrotechnic super boner; we explore the fact that a time bomb could be ticking away in your area without you knowing; and we’ll uncover one governments’ habit of sweeping disasters under the rug by cleaving a transport plane through an apartment building.

No real spoiler here, but this is one of those episodes where the bad guys carried on the shoulders of the courts like misunderstood anti-heroes, and the authorities in general show a fairly unhealthy disregard for human life. But to pull it back to a human level, these people had their overly-tall hairdos rearranged, and we coined a whole new phrase for this show: “gawk block”. I think I’ll make some gawk blocker t-shirts  … one day.

And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional 8 minutes where we discussed:

•  why the Little Dutch boy was full of crap

•  you’d learn how many dead children it would actually take to plug a significant dam break

•  and you’d enjoy another whole minisode, all about the all-time deadliest firework related tragedy of all time which may come as a surprise – the wedding of Marie Antoinette to King Louis the XVI!
