Episode 4: Drowned Dreams
Some disasters are natural. Others are man-made. And then there are the ones we build ourselves—one arrogant decision at a time.   In this episode, we plunge into the catastrophic consequences of human hubris—disasters not born of nature, but of negligence.   We begin with the Johnstown Flood of 1889, where America’s wealthiest men turned a failing dam into a private playground—until it burst and killed over 2,200 people. Then, we travel to California’s St. Francis Dam, where one engineer’s overconfidence drowned entire towns overnight. Along the way, we uncover other tragedies: beer floods, collapsing dams, and the lives lost when ambition outweighs caution.   These weren’t accidents. They were warnings—ignored. And dreams—drowned.   www.MorbidHistory.com
