Episode description
On this crossover episode with The Compendium, Kyle Recy and Adam Cox retell the infamous 2013 Carnival Triumph disaster: an engine fire left the ship adrift, power and plumbing failed, and over 4,200 passengers endured days of heat, spoiled food, and overflowing sewage. The hosts unpack what went wrong, the chaotic onboard response, media fallout, and the investigations and legal aftermath.
Its a stark look at corporate decisions, maritime safety failures, and how a single breakdown became a global PR nightmare — the so-called "Poop Cruise from Hell."
