THE ITALIAN HALL DISASTER: WHO IS TO BLAME?


Listen Later

Who’s to blame for the Italian Hall Disaster?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) speaks with comedian, gamer and late-night writer Mike Drucker about the Italian Hall Disaster in Calumet, MI on Christmas Eve 1913. Was this horrible accident, which took the lives of 73 people (mostly children), merely an accident or was there something more sinister at play? Did a mining company's monopoly over the town lead to dangerously high tensions? And when and why did it become a crime to yell fire in a crowded room when there is no fire? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
