Summary
Who’s to blame for the sinking of SS Princess Alice?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes fellow podcaster Adrien Behn to discuss the gruesomely tragic sinking of the SS Princess Alice in the Thames River. Does the ability to swim even matter if you’re swimming in raw sewage? Could an overcrowded passenger ship be to blame? Or was this a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
