NOTE: IN THE PORTION WHERE I EXPLAIN NUCLEAR FISSION, I MIX UP NUCLEI AND NEUTRON! I realised this post editing but I think it generally makes sense, but when I explain how the nuclei is hit, I say it releases a nuclei, it actually releases a neutron, the neutron then hits the next nuclei and releases more neutrons, that is what forms the chain reaction. Thanks for accepting my mistake :)

Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode I discuss The Donner Party - the group set off to hike the Oregon Trail in 1846 - this is always a hard journey, but in this case they were struck by bad luck, wrong directions, accidental deaths and eventually being stuck in the frozen mountains for 3 months awaiting rescue. This would result in the deaths of almost half the party and the choice of whether to eat the dead.

Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this initial episode, we discuss the sinking of the freighter ship the El Faro in 2015. How could a ship sail directly into a hurricane and sink in the world of non stop data and tracking? We dig into the details, the crew involved and the lessons we've hopefully learnt to make sure we don't have more shipwrecks in future.
