An anthology of the 15 best true disaster stories from the popular book series by John Stark Bellamy II. Revisit the most terrible tragedies in Cleveland history, including:



The apocalyptic East Ohio Gas Company explosion and fire of 1944, which destroyed an entire east side neighborhood;


Genius inventor Garrett A. Morgan's daring underground rescue efforts (using his recently invented gas mask) during the gruesome 1916 waterworks collapse;


The unspeakably horrible Collinwood school fire of 1908, in which 172 schoolchildren perished in panic because of obstructed exits;


The Cleveland Clinic disaster of 1929, in which thousands of pounds of X-ray film exploded in flames, causing 123 deaths;


The grisly drama of two doomed workmen buried alive in the very concrete that became Cleveland's celebrated landmark--the Terminal Tower.



A great introduction to Bellamy's five-book Cleveland crime and disaster series.
