About this episode

In 1937, a school in New London, Texas, exploded without warning, resulting in the loss of nearly 300 lives. It was one of the worst disasters the state had ever seen... and it was ultimately traced to a single bad connection in an underground gas line... Fascinating Horror covers the true stories behind some of history's greatest disasters. This podcast is an audio version of the YouTube channel of the same name.
