Episode 116: The 1986 Mount Hood incident

It's time for the yearly school trip - no, not to Washington, DC, or the Grand Canyon or New Orleans.

But when the group left the school late on the night of May 11th, 1986, to head to Mount Hood for the opportunity of a lifetime, they had no idea nine of them would not be coming back alive.
