The Man Who Powered the World — The Mysterious Death of Rudolf Diesel
from The Evident Conspiracy Files · host ECF Studios
Send us Fan Mail Tonight, we're pulling a body out of the North Sea! The autumn of 1913. The world is one long, hot summer away from the bloodiest war it has ever seen. And aboard a steamship crossing the English Channel, one of the most famous men alive simply… vanishes. No splash. No scream. No witness. Just an empty cabin, a bed that was never slept in, and a coat folded neatly over the rail like he meant to come back for it. That man was Rudolf Diesel. The engineer who built the engine that still moves your food, your fuel, your ships, your trains, your world. And the official story is a roll of the dice. If this happened in 1913, just think how they'd make people vanish today. Enjoy this episode, and let us know what you think... - Murder or suicide?
