Today we tackle (after another lengthy absence – SORRY!) our first listener suggested podcast!  Though it’s not well known, the catastrophic explosion, fireball, and resulting fire at the Los Alfaques Resort on the Spanish coast is something that devastated hundreds of lives.  It starts with a set of bad coincidences, and ends with the destruction of almost an entire popular camping spot on the Mediterranean.

As usual, you can download the postcast at this link, or find us on iTunes (along with all of our other episodes), or just listen below.
