MP3•Episode home

This week we wrap up the story of the Buffalo Creek Disaster, when a poorly built dam system gave way to a flood and killed 125 people, leaving thousands homeless.

We get into the lengthy court settlement, the investigation into "psychic impairment" and the idea of monetary compensation for mental trauma, the actual timeline of the disaster as far as what the owners, the Pittston Company, were doing at that time, and we discuss several women who gave warnings who definitely should have been listened to!
