The Darkest Hour: The Tragedy of the Stardust Fire

On Valentine’s Day 1981, several Dublin families were woken in the early hours of the morning by frantic neighbours searching for their children. For many of those families, they would never see their children again. By morning, 44 people would be dead, with four more dying from their injuries within several weeks, and a further 214 injured. This is the story of the Stardust Fire, the worst tragedy of its kind in Irish history.Moore, Christy, ‘They Never Came Home’, YouTube.Propensity is a true crime anthology podcast.
