The Indianapolis Coliseum Death Capades of 1963 | Episode 31

No matter what the scariest thing you’ve ever seen on Halloween, it was a baby food sampling party compared to what we’re about to talk about. On this episode: you’re going to hear about people crushed under concrete two feet thick; a particularly instructional kind of trauma; and the generous help of volunteers trying to straighten out twisted limbs to make people appear more comfortable. 

I don’t want to say this episode stinks, but it’s gassier than you could imagine. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your point-of-view, this is the kind of gas you can’t smell. Not to spoil things, but we will definitely spend a minute talking about propane safety, and why it’s so important for public events to start on time. I promise, this episode is actually about something so innocent and fun, you’ll forget about all the screaming the compression. Ironically, or all the many things you’ll learn about today, we’re going to try and convince you smelling farts is good for you. But more importantly, who would have thought a Halloween Holidays on Ice Capades would turn into the most deadly accident in the history of the State of Indiana, and one of the deadliest indoor explosions in U.S. history. Special celebrity guest stars include The Beatles!––––– THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn’t exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it’s been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone. I don’t do this for you, so much as I do this because of you.
