The Green Hornet Streetcar Crash | A Short Documentary | Fascinating Horror

On the 25th of May, 1950, at around 6:30pm, a crowded tram was making its way through the streets of Chicago. As it approached a switch in the track, the driver missed the frantic signals of a worker on the street, and ploughed through the track switch at high speed. Immediately, the tram collided with a fully-loaded tanker truck hauling gasoline. Fuel spilled out and ignited in a giant fireball, beginning one of the most deadly public transit disasters in Chicago’s history.

I tell the true stories behind some of history's greatest disasters... but without sensationalism or disturbing imagery. Fascinating Horror is all about in-depth research, respectful storytelling, and learning what we can from the mistakes of the past. You might be surprised to discover just how much of today's world is shaped by long-forgotten disasters from decades gone by.
