And today, I am going to tell you an incredible story that I’ve found out in this large pool of historic stories that I dived in, and for that, we're going to Boston, a city rich with history and stories. But this isn't a tale of revolutionaries or old-world charm. It's a story that sounds like a joke, a bizarre headline, but was, in fact, a very real, very tragic disaster.
