EARLY AND AD-FREE: The Nigeria Airways Disaster of 1991 | Episode 60
🕑 Added 2023-11-04 02:14:07 +0000 UTCYou’ve flown on planes that were late. You’ve flown on planes that experienced turbulence. You’ve even flown on planes with unruly passengers, but I’m willing to be you’ve never flown on a plane that melted.
On today’s episode: we’ll do our best not to end up headless in prison, you’ll learn the most disturbing thing to ever unintentionally fall from an airplane in aeronautic history, and we’ll find out if Canadians are actually evil. ALSO, because you are listening as a Patreon member, this episode was almost 15 minutes longer. We looked into why your maps suck, the death of flat earthers, the world-changing power of informercials, the Great Oman Cyclone of 1970, oh - I taught you how to become rich, and we touch on about a half dozen other ways people have died terribly in the east.
So if you had visited Mecca at any point in the last 220+ years, there is a chance you might have seen anything from a cartoonishly flattened foot to a stack of bodies too tall to see over. But thankfully, a very slim mathematical chance. And what don’t we take on this show? Slim mathematical chances. Doomsday has the safest, most well-prepared listenership in the world. Has your second favourite podcast ever tried to save your life?

Thank you EP! The next episode is nuclear and soviet in nature, so I will be straining my sarcasm gland. Thanks for the kind words - they are the pick me up that make this all worthwhile. Well - that and saving listener lives. Safest listeners in the world I tell you.
The writing of your episodes is really strong. Your ability to convey meaning and imagery is makes it an enjoyable and effective way to learn new stuff (and things). However, what makes every episode an absolute pleasure, is listening to your "narration"........ Such a warm and welcoming voice, with great timing. Some of the best bits are the conversational intonation you use, when conveying life lessons with just the right tone of sarcastic spice! I prefer quality over quantity..... Which is why I joined the Funeral Kazoo Patreon in the first place!
