Doomsday: History's Most Dangerous Podcast
Doomsday: History's Most Dangerous Podcast
The Wahine Ferry Cyclone Disaster of 1968 | Episode 74
25 JUL. 2024 · Some people think it’s weird when they hear travel by sea described as romantic. Between the vomiting and the contusions and the lacerations and the spinal injuries – I’m confident this episode will help you discover whatever the opposite of romance is.
On this episode: you’ll learn why Captain James Cook left Hawaii with a knife in his head – and chest – and back and abdomen and face; you’ll learn the clothes-eating, skin-ripping, skull-flattening results of jumping feet first into an active hurricane; and you’ll hear about recovery efforts somehow more damaging than the original disaster
And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional 10 minutes where we discussed:
• why in about 600,000 years New Zealand will be some of the most prized real estate in the world
• we clarify why a corpse in a captain’s outfit isn’t a must-have after every disaster
• you get a sad reminder that not all ship crews are created equal
• you hear all about the Marmite Disaster of 2011 that killed over 20,000 people and injured another 8,300
• and you’ll learn of the horrific tale of the worst, most sea-sickening voyage of all time.
Full disclosure, we’ll make a little bit of fun of Australia in this episode, but less than a minute’s worth, I swear. And it’s all in good fun. In fact, it’s the only real fun to be had. I did this episode as a thank you to a listener from New Zealand, not having been there, and based purely off having read more individual rescue tales for the story than any other episode of this show to date, I have to say this. My first exposure to NZ culture was through a movie called Once Were Warriors. I’ll discuss it quickly in the episode, but it basically painted the country as an urban living hellscape of social problems. My takeaway from preparing this episode is that New Zealanders are warm, caring, brave and selfless. It was a pleasure to put together, and we’ll be back.
Celebrity guest stars include: filmmaker and hobbit enthusiast, Peter Jackson; knife-wound collector and world traveller, Captain James Cook; extratropical cyclone and buzzkill, Cyclone Giselle; sea-sickness pioneer and turtle collector, Charles Darwin; and aquatic-themed Diety and pro-nudist, Poseidon.
All that said, I am giving away a jar of Marmite to one lucky listener. I just haven’t decided what the contest will be yet…

The Galeras Volcano Disaster of 1993 | Episode 73
12 JUL. 2024 · A mountain is just about the most stable and serene thing in nature. But every now and then, one says “not today”!
On this episode: we’ll see how a volcano was more deadly to humanity than that asteroid was to the dinosaurs; we’ll meet the most oblivious reporters in history of news gathering; and we’ll see repeatedly what happens when human flesh comes in contact with glowing hot rocks.
Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed the top four deadliest volcanoes in history, the most famous person in human history to actually swan dive into a volcano, why being eaten by a bears or struck by lightning is better than what happens in this episode, the strange tale of 800,000 Icelandic farting sheep, and what accidentally cooking your friend’s brain smells like – including a quick cooking tip.
Even I was impressed with how gory today’s story turned out. There were way more, very specific details I could have shared about various injuries, but decided there had to be a line. As for how many other people will have their faces blown off in unpredicted volcanic eruptions, but one will be too many and a hundred won’t be enough.

The Manchester Woolworths Inferno of 1979 | Episode 72
28 JUN. 2024 · If you’re like me and you would rather burst into flames than go shopping, have we got the story for you…
Special shout out to my UK listeners! On today’s fresh new episode: we’ll see how cold and aloof British parents can be; we’ll see how bad psychology makes some shoppers believe they are practically immortal and fire proof; and we’ll see which planet in our solar system has better, more breathable air than was available in today’s story – and hint, it’s not Earth.
Let me mention, there are actually three disasters in this episode. The actual disaster in Manchester, another one at an IKEA right off the bat, and that poor Woolworths that Hitler hated? He hated it with a rocket. And the reaction of some victims of this disaster would lead to the creation of an actual area of study for academics interested in the bizarre behaviour of people in emergency situations. We've had people walk into burning buildings before because of trauma, but this will be something completely different.
At the time this episode took place, it was the worst fire-related tragedy since WWII, but we'll also discover how this disaster changed the history of home and business safety and ended up saving thousands of lives.
Special celebrity guests include retail super juggernaut, Frank Woolworth; hated former Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher; poison obsessed Swiss physicist, Walter Jaeger; worst mother in the world, Catherine McGuinn; British author and redneck enthusiast, George Orwell; former President Donald J. Trump; former Philippino dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, Imelda; and the former wealthiest man in America, Sam Walton.
And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional 9.5 minutes where we discussed:
• where Philippino dictators and Donald Trump fit into NYC’s real estate dick measuring contest
• where American rednecks came from
• the conspiracy surrounding Mattress stores on every corner across the US
• and we’ll took a minute to find out just how much Hitler hated Woolworths

The Cavalese Cable Car Disaster of 1998 | Episode 71
12 JUN. 2024 · Someone once said that skiing combines outdoor fun with knocking down trees with your face. Today, we learn that skiing can do a lot worse things to your face than knocking down a tree.
On this episode: On today’s episode: we’ll see how hot dogging at work can destroy your soul; you’d forever remember the list of countries that make up the Alps thanks to MILFGASS; and we’ll see how the north American concept of giving out awards regardless of merit actually began with the military.
This is I believe our third trip to Bella Italia, and I don’t want to spoil the duplicitous little twist in this episode. There is a story arc of an attempted redemption from sin. Justice will be paper thin. There may be some awards handed out. It’ll get weird, however many times it needs to. If you've never been in a gondola in a wind storm halfway up a mountain, this is as close as you're going to get. And by the time you're done, you'll wish you'd just spent an awful afternoon teetering over certain death.
I you had been listening on Patreon, you would have enjoyed an additional 13 minutes where we discussed:
• why I can’t sell stupid moon rocks
• we meet the single least likely and least prepared athlete in the history of the winter Olympics
• we find out who the funniest people roasting in hell are
• and we reveal how Google is trying to convince us all to poison and kill ourselves

The Enschede Fireworks Disaster of 2000 | Episode 70
27 MAY. 2024 · In this episode, homes and buildings will sadly be blown away and destroyed, and you’ll say “fireworks?” and I’ll say “it sure does”.
On this episode: we look at the Netherlands pyrotechnic super boner; we explore the fact that a time bomb could be ticking away in your area without you knowing; and we’ll uncover one governments’ habit of sweeping disasters under the rug by cleaving a transport plane through an apartment building.
No real spoiler here, but this is one of those episodes where the bad guys carried on the shoulders of the courts like misunderstood anti-heroes, and the authorities in general show a fairly unhealthy disregard for human life. But to pull it back to a human level, these people had their overly-tall hairdos rearranged, and we coined a whole new phrase for this show: “gawk block”. I think I’ll make some gawk blocker t-shirts … one day.
And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional 8 minutes where we discussed:
• why the Little Dutch boy was full of crap
• you’d learn how many dead children it would actually take to plug a significant dam break
• and you’d enjoy another whole minisode, all about the all-time deadliest firework related tragedy of all time which may come as a surprise – the wedding of Marie Antoinette to King Louis the XVI!

The Cleveland Balloonfest Disaster of 1986 | Episode 69
8 MAY. 2024 · The Cleveland Balloonfest Disaster of 1986 | Episode 69
Balloons often represent happiness, but if you’ve ever had to explain to a crying child why their balloon flew away and won’t be coming back, you know that balloons are monsters.
On this new and much requested episode: you’ll learn the origin of the phrase, “it seemed like a good idea at the time”; we learn why Cleveland is called the Mistake by the Lake, and we’ll see what is probably the most amount of damage one could possibly hope to achieve with balloons.
And if you are thinking of listening to this as a Patreon supporter, for the first time ever, there are TWO ENTIRE MINISODES within this episode that no one else will get to hear
The first on the Cuyahoga River Fire Disaster of 1969; and a second on the Cleveland 10¢ Beer Night Disaster of 1974. We also look at the horrible history of promotions and publicity stunts that backfired catastrophically; and we learned why you never fire guns.
About the actual main story here, we are definitely in a Cleveland state of mind, and I will tell you this one quote from the episode:
Literally no part of this came together like it was supposed to, and in keeping with Cleveland’s long habit of not having things go it’s way, one observer was quoted as saying “it's actually quite impressive how badly it turned out”. There are terrorist attacks that aren't as successful as balloon fest.

Bonus | The Tesla Cybertruck Automotive Review Disastersode of 2024
29 ABR. 2024 · Hello all. Welcome to the very first Doomsday Automotive Review segment. I’ve never done one of these before, and most importantly, I shouldn’t have to, but here we are.
It was originally released as part of bonus Patreon content, but I'm sharing it here with you now to buy me a few days to get the next episode together.
Since we originally brought it up, more Tesla Cybertrucks have wrapped around trees, smoked by semis, accidentally confusing the startup toggle for the self-destruct sequence. And apparently, the reason people are facing that five-hour restart time is because they activated car wash mode. Here’s the thing - as we said, you have to keep this thing as clean as hell - cleaner than anything else you own, and if you use it in a car wash without activating car wash mode - guess what happens? They void your warranty. Good thing no one who owns a Cybertruck needs to work - or they would be pretty fired for that kind of nonsense.
And the stock has continued to slump. Might have something to do with lying to shareholders about how many of these things they’ve actually sold. For clarification, they’ve sold less than half of what the original Back to the Future style Delorean did back in the day - and the Delorean is widely regarded a massive commercial flop.
Anyways I wanted to thank you all for listening. I’m sharing this with the bulk of my audience just because you deserve to be safe - physically and financially, and I am here for you. I’ll be back next week with an all new episode including two full minisodes inside the regular episode, special for my Patreon listeners.
I think getting episodes a little early with no sponsor interruptions and with additional, ridiculously interesting material in each new episode is worth it.
If you agree, you can find out more at http://patreon.com/funeralkazoo
It would really help fulfill my dream of doing this full time. If you and a few thousand of your friends could spare a buck or two, you would really help keep the show – and frankly, me – alive
Also, send me your screams. I’m going to be holding 2024 auditions for future episode victims!
The Asiana Airlines Disaster of 2013 | Episode 68
15 ABR. 2024 · Fun fact: Airplane accidents have a 95.7% survivability rate, according to the US National Transportation Safety Board. This story actually has a 99.02% survivability rate – but those that do die – you might want to limber your neck, because you’re going to be shaking your head.
On this episode: you won’t learn to fly a plane but I will be able to teach you how not to fly one; we’ll learn what happens when you go skydiving at ground-level; and we’ll learn about a victim who was killed by her own rescuers - twice.
This story will showcase what became of a once proud company known for safety and innovation, and how they’ve become the laughing stock of airlines. Speaking of laughing, we’re also going to test your sense of humour in this one. For starts, yes, one of the victims has something unimaginable happen, and for no good reason - twice! And it’s not just the circumstances of the death that will get off to a weird start - it’s the media’s coverage of the event. I’ll tell you about that right at the end, and ho lee fuk is it a weird one.
Celebrity guests include: virtuoso and piano enthusiast, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; nervous former pilot from Airplane: The Movie, Ted Striker; one-man anti-terrorist task force and movie star, John McClane; and a quick visit from professional worriers, Serena Williams and Tom Hanks.
And if you were a Patreon supporter, you would also enjoy an additional 12 minutes where we discussed:
• Canada’s love/hate relationship with a retailer legally called Crappy Tire
• how Boeing became such an absolute fart of a company
• we recapped the beloved Christmas tale Die Hard 2
• we explored the parallels between this disaster and Airplane: The Movie
• and the world’s first safety segment within a safety segment where we cover what to do if you survive a plane crash and the universe tries to Final Destination you about it

Bonus | The OceanGate Titan Disaster Explodasode of 2023
29 MAR. 2024 · With apologies for the absense of new material, I'm a bit under it and overwhelmed - not much unlike the passengers of the OceanGate Titan Submersible just under a year ago!
This is a piece of bonus content which I described as "a somewhat rushed minisode that once again turned out to be not so mini". It was based on the best evidence and understanding of events that was available at the time. I think I can safely say no much has changed since then, so I stand by it.
I also stand by some substantially backed-up billionaire bashing.
I did my best to cut through the social media clutter and applied my own math as best I could - but the fact about this disaster is it is unprescidented. We're talking about physics and hydrodynamics at levels we have zero experience with, and no real way to test, or reason to try. So many things had to go wrong for this to happen, and I will happily singing-telegram-style deliver the blame directly to Stockton Rush's door.
In this new episode, you will learn:
• Just how fascinatingly irresponsible Stockton Rush was
• Why making fun of dead billionaires is good for you
• Exactly how unbelievably nightmarish the last trip of the Titan was
There will be math and science and gelatinous goo, all for you my loyal listeners.

The Interstate-5 Dustsaster of 1991 | Episode 67
13 MAR. 2024 · If you got something in your eye, you should rinse it with water or eye drops to try and wash it out. Fair warning: there is not enough over-the-counter eyedrops in the world that would help with today’s story.
On this episode: we’ll learn all the ways your car wants to kill you, we’ll learn which member of the original Thanksgiving feast ended up with their head on a pike for 25 years, and we’ll find out what happens when you play rock paper scissors bumper plow.
This is the first episode we’ve done where the site of the catastrophe later became an annual sporting event recreating the event. The Frank Rockslide Disaster of 1903 stands as one of the most devastating and tragic events in the history of Alberta and was claimed to be the worst disaster that has even befallen any community in Western Canada.
Celebrity guests include: my wife, aggrieved driver; highway enthusiast, Dwight D. Eisenhower; historical revisionist, Abraham Lincoln;massacre enthusiast, Massachusetts Bay Governor, John Winthrop; and holiday-travel enthusiast, Dante of Dante’s Inferno fame.
And if you had been listening on Patreon, you would have enjoyed an additional 10.5 minutes where we discussed:
• landing planes on highways
• how bizarre the Mandela Effect is
• we look at the weird, dark origins of Thanksgiving
• we found out why TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers hate Plymouth Rock
• we look into why people suck at driving
• and the history of the Cannonball Run
