Crash Lessons
Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456089/fan_mail/new] On July 6, 1944, what was meant to be a joyful afternoon at the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus turned into one of the deadliest fires in American history. In this episode of Crash Lessons, we tell the story of the Hartford Circus Fire — how a perfect storm of unsafe practices, wartime shortages, and human error led to tragedy, and how the disaster permanently changed public safety standards in the United States.
