In the early hours of the 24th of January 1961 a B-52 military aircraft was in the middle of a routine operation when it encountered severe technical difficulties, and began to break apart in mid-air. The captain ordered everyone on board to bail out, and they did so, leaving the disintegrating aircraft unmanned, shuddering violently as it plummeted towards farmland near Goldsboro, North Carolina. On board were two nuclear weapons, each one 250 times more powerful than the bomb which destroyed Hiroshima.
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.
