Inspired by: Slava Zizek & Tempi Train Disaster.
Tempi, Greece.
A tragic train collision two years ago keeps a nation in mourning. In this episode, I reflect on the deadliest rail disaster in Greece’s history, the Tempi train crash of February 28, 2023.
This is a story of negligence, systemic failures that repeatedly attempted to conceal the truth about the disaster from the public, and the human cost of avoidable mistakes.
But this episode is not just about a single tragedy; it’s about the patterns that lead to disaster, the responsibility we demand, and the lives forever changed.
And it's a relevant case, for everyone's out there who's seeking meaningful, actual change for themselves.
