Doomed to Fail

Picture it - Chicago, 1871 - it's dry, windy, and everything is made of wood (sound familiar?). Chicago's small force of firemen are exhausted from battling a fire at a lumber yard next to a cardboard box factory - if you put that in a movie people would think you made it up! Then, around 8 pm one dry October night, there's a fire in the O'Leary barn. A cow probably didn't do it... probably.Learn more about the Great Chicago Fire with us! Episode up now!

Let's head back up to the sky and talk about how terrifying and dangerous clouds are! After a little bit of cloud background info, Farz tells us two terrifying stories. First, the story of William Rankin, "The Man Who Rode the Thunder," who hung in the air for 35 minutes after ejecting from his plane. He basically was IN a cloud, lightning, rain, and more. Then, Farz tells us about Delta Flight 191 which crashed in Dallas in 1985. A convective storm cell caused a 'microburst' that caused the plane to miss the landing and crash onto a highway.Anyway, also Taylor is flying a bit this week! Probably fine!

You would think that as an F1 Racecar Driver, Michael Schumacher had seen it all. Farz tells us about Formula 1's tragedies, including the death of Ayrton Senna. There are a lot more (a total of 52 since 1952.That's not today's tragedy - Michael Schumacher was just back from retirement when he went skiing. A fall on his head has led to Schumacher being out of commission for the last ten years, so much so that his physical state is a complete mystery. It's very sad.

Travel back to 1666 London with us! Houses are made of wood and dangerously close together. The summer was intensely dry, and a gale-force wind was coming in from the East. It's the night of September 2, and a baker on Pudding Lane forgot to put out his oven.The bell was rung, but a series of non-decisions by politicians and the rush to evacuate let the fire burn down 5/6th of the city.We're getting started with fire disasters - join us!

We're back with Engineering Disasters - this time, we're going to South Korea in 1995 for one of the most horrible disasters on record. The Sampoong Department Store was never meant to be a store - it was built as an apartment building and converted into a store. Developer Lee Joon ignored all the warning signs and made bad decisions after bad decisions - resulting in a collapse that killed over 500 people.It's a classic 'Swiss Cheese' model - little things that add up to a huge disaster.

A couple of centuries before the Tenerife Airport Disaster that we covered recently, The Guanche people lived on the Canary Islands, until, of course, conquests etc. From 1402 - 1496, the Spanish ravaged the islands, finalizing their conquest with the takeover of Tenerife, the largest of the islands. There's a lot we don't know - but we do have some caves, mummies, and snippets from Pliny the Elder (naturally) to give us a glimpse into this unknown ancient society.Here's a joke that ChatGPT wrote for us about The Guanches:"When the Guanche chef opened a restaurant, it was truly unique — every dish had that special 'Guanche' flair, leaving diners saying, 'Canary believe how delicious this is!'

We're back from vacation! Farz went to Dollywood, was brave, and rode all the rides! Then, he came home and researched Roller Coaster accidents so the rest of us would never go on a ride again! First, he tells about 52-year-old Rosa Ayala-Gaona Esparza, who was violently thrown from a coaster at Six Flags Over Texas. Then, the story of John Harter, a 17-year-old who met his end in a fake Eifel Tower in Ohio.

Finally re-releasing the stories from Doomed to Fail Episode 10!!! We are finally telling the stories that are in our theme song - Farz starts out with the story of OJ Simpson & his ex-wife Nicole. If you were alive in the 1990s, this is all you talked about the entire time. It was either OJ's spectacular Football career, his acting, rumors of domestic violence, and the most famous murder in America. This story brought us the Kardashians, the most-watched live car chase in history, and decades worth of entertainment as we try to justify how a murderer is currently golfing.Join us for this epic re-release!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomed.to.fail.pod Email: [email protected] Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life! patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPodWe would love to hear from you!

Yaser Said moved to the United States from Egypt, but when his daughters, Amina and Sarah, turned out to be more American than he wanted (ie: they wanted to have phones and talk to boys) Yaser murdered them in cold blood.

Last week, Taylor's best friend from college had a baby. 20 years ago, he had a van that was carpeted in the back and only had two seats, when he picked her up from work for the first time, he was very clear not to get into any weird van, but specifically to get into his.Does that make sense? This story will very clearly spell out why you should never get into a van (or car) of someone you don't know. Honestly, don't hitchhike unless you are in a very quaint part of Europe.This is the story of Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, The Toolbox Killers.

Welp. Just in time for holiday travel, Farz decided to tell us about the Tenerife Airport Disaster in 1977. Experienced pilots met with fog, a terrorist threat, fueling issues, confused air traffic controllers... All relatively small things that were in just the right order to cause the deadliest Plane Crash of all time.Anyone (like Taylor) who had a serious fear of flying to get over will have Wikipedia'd this story, it's a doozy. One time, mid-panic attack, a flight attendant told her she could die a thousand deaths, or she could enjoy flying and just have the one, however it comes. Which was very helpful, not all heroes wear capes.Enjoy Thanksgiving with your family, y'all!! Don't bring up politics, may we suggest plane crashes & emperors?Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomed.to.fail.pod Email: [email protected] Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life! patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPodWe would love to hear from you!

C'est l'heure! It is time! Napoleon, the world-changing film comes out this week, and we are here to get you prepped! Join Taylor as we go through the basics, like, Napolean was not from France, he was from Corsica (which was taken over by France the year he was born, but still). He was also anywhere from 5'2 - 5'7 when the average French dude was 5'4 -- but like, at the same time George Washington was 6'2... Anyway, height doesn't matter (cough, cough, looking at you current Republican candidates for president)!It's so fun!

Today, we are re-visiting the story of Oscar Wilde and his relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas. In a time when it was even more harrowing being a gay person (than, like, places in the US today), Oscar Wilde's sexual orientation was an open secret. When his boyfriend's dad got the law involved, things got serious. Join us for this fascinating trip into LGBTQ history!

In our penultimate volcano episode, we explore the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens in Washington State. It's lucky that it was a weekend and lucky that the land was mainly used for foresting, otherwise, the devastation could have been in the tens of thousands of lost lives like we've seen. It's a story of forestation, preservation, and vulcanologists doing one of the most dangerous jobs out there. We're proud of you guys!

This week, Farz takes us to 1980s Bhopal, India, where thousands of people were poisoned by the air outside of a Union Carbide pesticide plant in the Bhopal Disaster. It's just what you think might happen. The buck was passed over and over again, but essentially, water got into a gas tank, and the tank leaked; clouds of poison chased people and animals around the town leaving many dead and many more hurt for life. If you google it you will see some really terrible images that we didn't include. That's on you.

We kick this week off with Taylor telling the stories of 5 of our most notorious Vice Presidents, Aaron Burr, Millard Fillmore, William Rufus King, Henry Wallace, and Spiro T. Agnew. Of the 49 people who have been VP some are nearly lost to history, while others are forever remembered for one or two special things (looking at you, Mr. Burr - could you IMAGINE if he could see a production of Hamilton!)

Today, we are re-releasing Episode 6, Part 1 - the terrible story of Drew Peterson and his wives. Having ex-spouses isn't a red flag; stuff happens, nbd. Having several missing ex-spouses is never a good sign. Drew Peterson isn't the only Peterson we cover who murders their wives, so you can check our archives for that one (it's Scott).

Today, we are covering the story of Agrippina the Younger, Nero's mum (who you will remember from Episode 2). History, as they say, is written by the victors and also by the male victors. So it's a miracle that we know anything about Agrippina at all! She was one of the last of the Julio-Claudians, so close to power as the sister to an Emperor, the wife/niece of the next Emperor, and the mother of the Emperor who had her killed.It is, as usual, a wild ride!Pics via the CC and #AIMain source - Agrippina: The Most Extraordinary Woman of the Roman World: 9781643130781: Southon, Emma: BooksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomed.to.fail.pod Email: [email protected] Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life! patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPodWe would love to hear from you!

Join us as Farz starts a terrifying journey into engineering disasters. Starting with the 1981 collapse of the Skywalk at the Kansas City Hyatt. During an evening dance in the lobby on July 17, two suspended walkways collapsed onto each other. One hundred fourteen people lost their lives, soaking the lobby in blood and becoming the worst structural disaster in the US until 9/11.What went so wrong? Who is to blame? Is it the engineers? Kansas City? Is it Hallmark, somehow?(Also, we made it through this entire episode without mentioning Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce! But Taylor did sing 'Everything's up to date in Kansas City', who doesn't love an 80-year-old cultural reference!)Pics via the CC and Midjourney #ai Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomed.to.fail.pod Email: [email protected] Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life! patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPodWe would love to hear from you!

Join us on a trip to a time before Alex Murdaugh was convicted of killing his wife and son - when we were just talking about his arrest and the horrible things he was accused of doing. We dig into this truly Southern Gothic tale - we imagine there are cicadas in the air, the humidity is hazy, and everyone is pretending to be nice but probably wants to murder you. Dramatically.Today's re-release is the Murdaugh Family Murders.Pictures via NBC news and AI // we asked for Southern Gothic & we had originally asked for Henry VIII in the south and that is great too!

Webster's Dictionary defines a 'Maniac' as "a person who behaves in a wildly foolish, reckless, or dangerous manner." And boy, do we have a story about some maniacs for you! In 2007, in Ukraine's 4th largest city, three young men went on the fastest murder spree we've ever heard of. Apparently, it's possible to see one of their murders that they filmed, "Three Guys - One Hammer," but we haven't seen it and don't recommend it. Join us for this horror story today on "Doomed to Fail."(Also, incidentally, Dnepropetrovsk is now called Dnipro, and you should read its Wikipedia page because it's fascinating. There's Catherine the Great, Many Occupations, two train bombs in 2007, nuclear weapon stockpiles, and in 2023 it's been bombed by Russia).

We're back on Volcanoes! Join us for the 1902 eruption of Mt. Pelée on the Caribbean Island of Martinique. An "important" mayoral election is scheduled in St. Pierre ("The Paris of the West Indies") for May 11th, and the Government wants it to go off without a hitch. Unfortunately, Mt. Pelée has other ideas. Starting on April 23rd, ash starts falling from the sky. Over the next few days, boiling mud barrels down the mountainside, along with giant centipedes, snakes, and ants. The election never happens, as almost every one of the 30,000 people in St. Pierre will die by 8:02 am on May 8th.This is actually the eruption that helped scientists understand pyroclastic flow - before this, we didn't really know what had happened in places like Pompeii and Herculaneum. It's beyond horrible.

We are re-releasing the story of Anne Boleyn and her husband, King Henry VIII. Anne didn't 'give' Henry a boy heir (like you can control that), and the Catholic Church wouldn't let them divorce. Instead of I don't know - keeping trying, or buying a boy baby from someone -- Henry decides to destroy his relationship with the Catholic Church, create the Church of England, accuse Anne of having an affair, and have her head cut off. He's a bit much.Re-visit this Tudor Classic with us!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomed.to.fail.pod Email: [email protected] Pics via Public domain & AI Some Sources:Lust, Lies And Empire: The Fishy Tale Behind Eating Fish On FridayCollaborativeDivorceTexas.comNoble Blood PodcastAnne of 1000 Days - the movie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomed.to.fail.pod Email: [email protected] Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life! patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPodWe would love to hear from you!

Today, we travel to the Northwest Passage - a route from Europe OVER Canada and on to Asia (and all the spices that come with that). Many tried and failed, but the most spectacular and haunting failure is that of the HMSs Terror and Erebus. The ships set sail in 1845 and were never seen again. From what we know, the crews were sick from scurvy, lead poisoning, and from being stuck in the ice for a year and a half. Eventually, the crew walked into the great white wilderness and disappeared into history, never to return home or complete their mission.The good news is that since the ice caps are melting, it's now quite an easy journey!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomed.to.fail.pod Email: [email protected] History of HMS Terror & ErebusNew discoveries from the wrecks of HMS Erebus and Terror | Royal Museums GreenwichA very special piece of paper | Canadian Museum of HistoryDeath in the Ice | Canadian Museum of HistoryFranklin's lost expedition - WikipediaBuried in Ice: The Mystery of a Lost Arctic Expedition (Time Quest Book)British Vesuvius Class Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life! patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPodWe would love to hear from you!

Today in True Crime we head to Russia for the story of Alexander Pichushkin - The Chess Board Killer. No, he didn't just kill Knights and Rooks - instead, he attacked the most vulnerable people in post-Soviet Union Russia and tried to fill his chess board by killing 64 people. Before he was finally caught he got pretty damn close.We love Russian History so it tracks that we would also find a great Russian True Crime Tale.Pics via NY Times & Wikipedia, & Midjourney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomed.to.fail.pod Email: [email protected] Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life! patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPodWe would love to hear from you!

Today we re-visit Taylor's favorite love story. The doomed romantic relationship of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and the "#1 Girl Reporter in the Country" assigned to her, Lorena Hickok. Eleanor Roosevelt and FDR were a complicated couple who were perfect for each other in many ways. But, after five children, Eleanor discovered FDR's affair with a secretary - she offered divorce but ended up staying. Soon after, FDR was struck with polio, and ER hit the road, keeping his name in the press and reporting back to him all she knew about New York and beyond. Eleanor became the strong independent woman that we associate with her today - and she shared a lot of her life with her friend and partner, Lorena Hickok.This is Taylor's favorite story!

Farz takes us to a small town in Iowa in 1912 when a family is murdered in the night. The usual suspects are rounded up, and some are tried, but the murders remain a mystery over 100 years later.

We're staying spooky with one of the most Haunted Houses in America, San Jose's Winchester Mystery House! Taylor tries her best to spin a scary story -- but, of course, she totally doesn't believe in ghosts and also would never do a seance, probably. It's complicated. We also talk about the history of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company and Sarah Winchester herself.Pics via the Creative Commons & AI SourcesCaptive of the Labyrinth: Sarah L.

It's October, and we loooove Ghost Ships!! We're covering the most famous mystery of the high seas - the Mary Celeste. In 1872, the 100ft Brigantine (which means it was double-masted) was found floating in the open seas, the cargo was still there, and the ship wasn't sinking, but nobody was on board. The 10 people (including a 2-year-old) that had left NY for Genoa, Italy were never seen again. The story has haunted us ever since!We also talk the MV Joyita, which was found listed to the port side (that means leaning left) in 1955 - bloody bandages were on the deck & all 25 people on board were never seen again!Finally, we just talked about the 2002 movie 'Ghost Ship' and how much we love it.

We're in Government Shutdown mode, reminiscing about the 90s when the Clinton Government shut down. When paid employees can't work, guess who can?! Unpaid interns. It's a wild ride that includes Newt Gingrich getting ostracized off of Air Force One, The Clintons in a potentially shady land deal, office gossip, and an impeachment trial.We also encourage you to google "Public Shaming: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)" and watch John Oliver's interview with Monica Lewinsky - she's amazing and has been through so much.Pictures via the Creative Commons & Midjourney (that's the Newt ones) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomed.to.fail.pod Email: [email protected] Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life! patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPodWe would love to hear from you!

Join us for this classic re-release - the murder of the Todt family in Celebration, Florida. Listen, We think Disney adults are weird, and we don't feel bad about that. You're especially weird if you want to live in Celebration. Anthony Todt (also BTW Todt means 'dead' in German, which they weren't allowed to mention at the trial) murdered his family in a house he had stopped paying rent on - and he stayed for days with their dead bodies. That's most of the story, but hear the details in part 2 of Episode 3!

We're going down to Australia to check in on the child killers John and Sarah Makin. The Makins ran a 'Baby Farm', which sounds charming but is not even close.

Today, we are geologists! Join us for Volcanoes Part 4 - Krakatoa! Krakatoa was the first global disaster where the globe knew what was happening - erupting in 1883, telegraphs and undersea cables brought the news to the entire planet faster than previously imagined possible. Thousands died in the pumice, the fires, and most of all, the Tsunamis that ravaged the islands while the world waited for news in horror.But does that make us geologists? No, but this does! -- We also learn that we didn't know about Tectonic Plates until 1965!!!! Which is insane since that's the first thing you learn in Earth Science.

Today, we re-visit the story of Pocahontas - and we mention the predator John Smith, who acted like they were lovers to get attention and fame, which is gross because she was literally a child. Eventually, after being kidnapped and baptized (related events), Pocahontas marries another white dude named John and dies in smokey ol' England at a very young age.It's not a fairy tale - but she seems pretty fearless and obviously special to have captured our hearts for so long.Pics via the CC and #midjourney (we asked it to imagine her as a #disneyinfluencer)More on PocahontasPocahontas: Her Life and LegendThe True Story of PocahontasPocahontasShort history of PocahontasInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomed.to.fail.pod Email: [email protected] Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life! patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPodWe would love to hear from you!
