In this gripping episode, true crime meets catastrophic disaster. We’re also visiting Portland’s sister city established in 1983 – Guadalajara, Mexico. We’re diving deep into one of the most haunting tragedies in Mexico’s history: the devastating series of explosions that rocked Guadalajara on April 22, 1992. Joining us is Cristina, one of our pod besties, who brings her unique perspective and special connection to the city as we unravel the events that led to this shocking disaster. Check out both of her amazing shows Espooky Tales and A Little Bit de Todo.
We’ll take you on a journey through the capital city and the expansive, bustling San Juan de Dios Market. Come along to experience some of the rich history and cultural traditions of the Jalisco region, famously the birthplace of both mariachi and tequila. We’ll also share the harrowing details of how a dangerous mix of gas leaks, governmental negligence, and flawed infrastructure led to catastrophic explosions that killed hundreds, injured thousands, and left entire neighborhoods in ruins. This story is more than just a tragic event—it’s a cautionary tale about the dangers of negligence, corruption, and the catastrophic consequences of ignoring early warning signs. True crime fans will appreciate the meticulous research, while those fascinated by disasters and unsolved mysteries will be drawn into the web of unanswered questions surrounding this tragedy.
💡 Get ready! Here’s what you’ll learn:
  • Science meets true crime: How a deadly chemical reaction and poor civil engineering contributed to this tragedy.
  • Shocking details: Explosions so powerful they sent buses flying, left streets cratered, and devastated over 8 kilometers of city streets.
  • Uncovering the truth: The role of PEMEX, government officials, and rumors of corruption in the aftermath.
  • The impact: How the public grappled with systemic failures in leadership, engineering, and crisis management that forever changed the lives of many.

🎧 Don’t miss our discussion about the victims, the unanswered questions, and the haunting legacy this disaster left behind.
