Скачать или смотреть The HORRENDOUS Disaster of SS Eastland

On July 24, 1915, the SS Eastland rolled over while still tied to the dock in the Chicago River—killing 844 men, women, and children in just minutes. It was one of the deadliest maritime disasters in American history… yet few people have ever heard of it.

In this video, we explore the shocking story of the Eastland Disaster: how a seemingly routine outing turned into an unimaginable tragedy, why the ship was so unstable, and how this event exposed major flaws in maritime safety standards.

Why did the SS Eastland capsize so suddenly? Who was held responsible? And why has this disaster been largely forgotten by history?
