Summary
Waiting is just a part of flying anywhere, whether it's hanging out waiting to board the plane, twiddling your thumbs while your plane waits for permission to take off, sighing in frustration as the captain announces you'll need to hold over your destination and won't be landing on time. But it could be worse ... far, far worse.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I get started with the episode today, I'd just like to take care of the usual housekeeping. If you've been wanting to hear a particular disaster on the podcast, you can do so for a $25 or more donation to the podcast PayPal at disaster area at mail.com or the podcast Venmo at Disaster Area Podcast. Just add the name of the disaster you'd like me to cover |
| 0:22.9 | to the notes on your donation and I will add it to the list. Please bear with me. I am legitimately |
| 0:28.2 | terrible about responding to messages, but rest assured that I will add your request to my to-do pile. |
| 0:34.2 | And if it's been a while since you sent in your request, feel free to just shoot me an email |
| 0:38.1 | or a message for me to double check and just make sure that it didn't let you slip through the cracks. |
| 0:42.9 | Now normally when it comes to requests, I do them when and if I can, but this will mean |
| 0:46.7 | I will definitely cover the topic you request as soon as I can finish all of the research |
| 0:50.3 | for it and write it up. |
| 0:52.3 | Keep in mind that the bigger bigger the disaster, the more sources |
| 0:54.5 | I may need to whittle down, the less well-known the disaster is, the more I may need to |
| 0:58.6 | search for sources, and the more recent or ongoing a disaster is, the more I may want to wait |
| 1:03.2 | until it's over so that the complete story can be told and all these ends can be tied up. |
| 1:08.2 | The subject from this particular episode was requested by Anthony, and I'd like |
| 1:12.1 | to thank him for the request and for the donation. Now, if you'd like to help support the podcast |
| 1:16.8 | in another way, you can do so with a one-time donation through PayPal at Disasterarea atmail.com, |
| 1:23.1 | or on a per-episode basis through Patreon at www.com slash disaster area podcast. |
| 1:31.2 | A per-episode donation of even as little as a dollar an episode can help me do things like |
| 1:35.8 | pay the rent and keep the lights on, so if you do become a patron, I would very much appreciate it. |
| 1:41.3 | And if you do join the Patreon, you will get new episodes as soon as I record them |
| 1:45.0 | rather than waiting until they are released every Wednesday, or in this particular case on |
| 1:49.5 | Friday, I believe. You can also follow the podcast on Facebook at Disaster Area Podcast, |
| 1:55.7 | which I don't update quite as much as I should, or on Twitter and Instagram at Disaster Area Pod, which I update |
