The Missing Head Behind David Attenborough’s Pub

from The Box of Oddities Hosted by Kat & Jethro Gilligan Toth

A forgotten 1952 Pan Am crash helped shape the safety briefing you hear on every flight—and now, 74 years later, the Clipper Endeavor has been found 2,000 feet beneath the Atlantic. Then: a skull discovered during a renovation connected to David Attenborough leads back to one of Victorian London’s most gruesome unsolved-for-131-years murder mysteries. A lost airliner, a missing head, and the very specific reason you should never inflate your life vest inside the plane. This is Box of Oddities.
