Hey there, it's Kathy. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to History of the 90s

early and ad-free on Amazon music included with Prime.

Hey, this is Kathy, and I want to take a minute to introduce you to another great podcast you

might enjoy from the Curious Cast Podcast Network. It's called Whatever Happened to.

There are those stories and events that captured the

entire world's attention and then seemed to just disappear. But just what happened when the

cameras turned off and the media walked away. On her new podcast, Whatever Happened to,

Global News reporter Erica Vela takes you inside stories like the nuclear

meltdown at Fukushima, the missing Chilean miners, and more to talk to the people at the heart

of each story and uncover exactly what's happened since. Take a listen.

It was a Friday like any other.

People were going about their business preparing for the weekend,

and then the earth rumbled like a fierce growl.

Entire buildings shook.

Pieces of concrete fell to the ground at times narrowly missing those running for safety.

This was an earthquake in a nation that was used to them, but this nine-magnitude earthquake,

it wasn't only powerful, it was long, and triggered a massive tsunami which unleashed 15-meter-high waves that washed through small fishing villages and roadways.

Cars, homes, and debris floated by as people rushed to their rooftops and watched the swirling water destroy everything in its path.

And in a nanosecond, inside the Fukushima Daiichi power plant,

everything went black.

Nestled in the towns of Okuma and Futaba is the location of one of the worst nuclear power accidents in recent history.

I'm Erica Vela, a reporter for global news.
