Inferno at Sea: The Dona Paz Tragedy

Catastrophe Chronicles delves into the harrowing story of the Doña Paz Ferry disaster, the deadliest peacetime maritime accident in history. Hosted by Katie and Arin Babbick, this episode explores the tragic events of December 20, 1987, in the Philippines, where over 4,000 lives were lost. Listeners will be taken through the overcrowded conditions on board, the catastrophic collision with the oil tanker MT Vector, and the subsequent explosive inferno that consumed both vessels. Despite widespread chaos and inadequate rescue efforts, 26 individuals miraculously survived. This episode reflects on the broader context of maritime challenges in the region, touching on corruption, outdated equipment, and a series of similar disasters that haunt the waters of the Philippines.
