  that one guy smashed the window to escape with the back of his head, survival instincts on the next level there.

  A stop sign with tiny letters, mounted two stories above the street? “Yeah, that should be good enough.”

  I like that this channel covers disasters, rather than true crime or paranormal events.

  Thank you for honouring the memory of people in these such cases, that have almost erased from history. These people had names and families once. It's important to recognise the impact their tragic deaths played in the safety of future generations

  I sent a screenshot of the front page of the newspaper in this video to my mother and she told me that two of my grandmother's cousins, Biagio Macaluso, who was 18, and Vincenzo Macaluso, 19, were two of the 46 people who died on that trolley. A third cousin, Rosario, was also supposed to be on the trolley but got held up because the streets were so crowded. They had all arrived in America from Sicily not long before this tragedy took place. What a small world. This video hits closer to home now that I know that.

  What do you mean you didn't see the six-inch lettering on the stop sign that's fifty feet up in the air, obscured by fog, covered in moss and hanging up backwards?!?!

  As a Boston native, this has to be the first disaster you covered where I never even heard about it at all. And considering all the history in Boston, it’s strange that there isn’t even a plaque to remember those lost. Thank you!

  I love how you describe everything in a way that is not at all overdramatic, and somehow this somberness  causes me to shed tears imagining what these people must have been feeling. What a terryfing, confusing, unfair way to die. Your videos always evoke compassion for the victims.

  The stop sign was TWO STORIES above the ground?! No wonder he didn't see it! I was on board with negligence until I heard that.

  McFarlane is a hero. It&apos;s so great to hear about all these mostly forgotten disasters and accidents; As terrible as the situations and circumstances are, in almost every case, there is at least one person trying their best to do the right thing, and do what they can to help others.<br><br>&quot;Always look for the helpers.&quot; - Mr. Rogers
