The Los Alfaques Campsite Disaster of 1978 | Episode 54

Magical isn’t a term we throw around loosely on this show, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard it used in a sentence about a campground, yet here we are. Gather around the campfire, fill up on tapas and sangria, listen to music under the stars and fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing in the background – and get one of the most devastating accidents in Spanish history. On this episode: you’ll learn the best way to transport flaming materials, you’ll see what happens when a company cuts corners in lieu of safety, and we’ll see how google makes things even worse.Whether I’m telling you about a story from 1641 or 2087, the common denominator across all space and time is a company looking to save a few bucks ahead of safety. And Spain has a unique legal protection called the “Right to be Forgotten” to help protect people in terrible circumstances - but it couldn’t help anyone in this episode. ––––– 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.
