View show details

Felix Mercer examines two devastating mining disasters—the 1942 Benxihu explosion where Japanese authorities sealed 1,549 miners inside a burning shaft, and the 2007 Crandall Canyon collapse that claimed nine lives including rescuers. Both tragedies reveal how institutional decisions determine whose survival justifies the cost of rescue. Loved this episode?
