This Is A Disaster


Episode 31: The Johnstown Flood

June 24, 2020

What better place to build a fishing and country club than at the edge of a recently-compromised dam?  A flood made particularly horrific by all of the debris it took with it, and Johnstown Pennsylvania didn't see it coming... or didn't want to.  Conemaugh Lake, 19th-century industrialists, broken telegraphs, and a demonic Katamari Damacy.
