Epusode 99 - The 1970 Bhola Cyclone
In November 1970, a powerful cyclone struck the low-lying coast of what was then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). A storm surge estimated up to ten metres high swept across islands in the Ganges Delta, submerging entire villages overnight. Between 300,000 and 500,000 people were killed, making it the deadliest tropical cyclone in recorded history. The disaster exposed major failures in relief efforts and intensified political tensions that would soon lead to the Bangladesh Liberation War.
