It just feels like there's enough trauma around the Titanic that to recreate it and try and do it again. You're asking for trouble.

So I certainly, I guess let me put it this way Rebecca, don't go on the

maiden voyage. Let it, let it go on and let it like do it a couple times successfully

before you jump on.

Now, on to our episode.

Each week we decide who's to blame for historical tragedy.

And each week you tell us if we got it right.

Dr. Matches is a professor of economics at Johns Hopkins University.

Let's hear what he has to say about Willie Wanka and the Chocolate Factory.

Hi Rebecca, it's my absolute pleasure.

The great question.
