Doomsday is a history lesson that easily disguises itself as a horror story. We explore the most traumatic, bizarre and most awe-inspiring but largely unheard-of disasters from throughout human history and around the world including the science behind every disturbing detail. If you like shipwrecks, decapitations, things that melt, living blankets of insects and people screaming for their lives, Doomsday is the podcast for you.

The Great Johnstown Flood Disaster of 1889 | Episode 88
We’ve had a lot of episodes underground, and none of them have been underwhelming. In fact, if you’re not fans of claustrophobia, choking, burning, or being trampled, today’s episode may be a little overwhelming.

On today’s episode: we will discuss how some of the richest men in America created a boiling, black mountain of crap as powerful as a small nuclear blast; we will – for only the second time in the show’s history, describe a disaster made worse by a liberal and unexpected application of barbed wire; and we’ll find out why sometimes, mass graves are just better.

And if you were listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you'd get to enjoy an additional 8 minutes where: you would learn how people who forget to patent their inventions die; we discuss the three most popular maiming injuries among child labour in the 1800s – number three will really surprise you; and we learn how people in the gentle age of this episode used water, electricity, cream and beef broth to unscramble your nervous system. 

This episode came by overwhelming request, and because I wanted to spend some time in every town destroyed during today’s events, this became our longest episode ever. It’s not all bad though. We’ll get to watch the creation of the American Red Cross before our eyes. It is mostly bad though. Today’s disaster sits easily in the top five worst things we’ve ever seen, and the bodycount would remain intact for the next 112 years – until the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in NYC.
