In the Labyrinth of Death

Bees

You hear a buzz. It's a bee, and it's angry. Thousands more fly out of the hive. You're surrounded by the swarm.How quickly can you run 1/4 mile to safety?This week, Marina and Fin discuss bees (of the regular kind and of the killer kind), what to do if you get stung, and how to survive a killer bee swarm.

Leprechauns

You see a rustle in the leaves. Is that mouse? No - it's a tiny, irritated man in green. Or maybe in red, depending on who you ask. And he's shockingly powerful and vindictive. In this St. Patrick's Day holiday special, Marina and Fin discuss leprechauns - at times from a historical perspective and at times as if they exist.

Tornadoes

Thunder booms all around you. Your phone sounds an alarm. Your hear the roar of a freight train. A tornado is heading your way. This week, Marina and Fin discuss tornadoes including recent disasters, how to spot cloud formations that could portend disaster, and why it's important to know where your fridge is when you're looking for a place to shelter.

Elevator Accidents

It's a normal day. You push the button for the elevator. The doors open. You step inside, but your foot meets only open air. The elevator car is stuck 10 floors below. Freak elevator accidents are more common than you may realize. This week, Marina and Fin discuss elevators including real-life catastrophes and freak accidents, how to tell if an elevator may be overdue for maintenance, and what to do if you're suddenly plummeting down an elevator shaft.

Sinkholes

The edge of the road begins to sag. A growing depression appears in the lane. Cracks begin to reach out across the pavement. Then the earth gives way under your tires. It happens more often than you think. This week, Marina and Fin discuss deadly sinkholes including real-life cases, how to know if you're at risk, and what to do if one collapses beneath you.
