Episode 99: Topless Toilets And Circus Tiddies (The Hartford Circus Fire)

Anxious and Afraid The Pod

In this week's episode, Abby regales the crew with another disaster story detailing the horrific Hartford circus fire of 1944.
It was a stiflingly hot day in Hartford, Connecticut on July 6th when the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus came to town. What started as a day of fun would come to a terrible end when the big top caught fire and killed many people still trapped inside. The following events would mark the day as one of the worst fire disasters in United States history.
