The Trolley Disaster that Boston forgot
This is a really great long read about a specific Boston historical accident known as the 1916 Summe Street Bridge Disaster where a streetcar plunged into the Four Point Channel and killed 46 people.
The Boston Globe gives you two options here to invest yourself in the story: You can either hit play and hear it as a podcast of sorts, or you can read the article which includes photos and annotations of the accident scene.
There are more photos here too if you want to check it out. Maybe have this open while you're listening to the audio from the article.
