30-year-old Eddie Justice hears bangs over the music. Like many others at Pulse Nightclub, he and his friends don’t understand where the sound is coming from. Maybe it's just part of the music. But then reality begins to sink in. That’s not music. Those are gunshots. Eddie and the other guests at Pulse have no idea they’re about to experience the worst terrorist attack in the US since 9/11.

The hosts of this episode are Maya Nalani and Luke Welland. The script is written by Erika Ansén. Sound design: Viktor Persson. Mayday is produced by the podcast company qast.
