Welcome to Redact their money, but we've got our soul.

Let's roll, let's roll, never get their control.

They've got their money, but we've got our soul.

Welcome to Redacta Tonight.

This is the show where Americans in America covering American news are called foreign agents.

On September 15th, 1896, a showman named William George Crush convinced officials at the Missouri-Kansas, Texas Railroad to allow him to set up a colossal train wreck

for people to watch, like a literal train wreck.

So they advertised the event for weeks

and even helped commute the 30 to 40,000 spectators

to come see the Great Coll collision free of charge.

On the day of the event, two six-car trains full of debris

pulled by locomotives were let loose at each other,

starting from one mile apart.

The trains collided at full speed in a spectacular fashion.

And then the engine's boilers exploded, sending flying shrapnel into the crowd,

killing at least three people, and injuring hundreds.

Even the event's photographer lost an eye.

Now that's what I call a show.

It was a spectacle so dumb, so pointless, and so reckless. Now that's what I call a show.

It was a spectacle so dumb, so pointless, and so reckless that it killed and injured even

those who just showed up to watch.

That's close to how it felt watching this week's presidential debate.
