 Chicago Disasters: Fires, Floods & Fury

Thursday, April 4, 2024 – 6:30PM

Like most large cities, Chicago has had its fair share of disasters over the years. Popular host Bob Trzeciak will take you on a journey through time to revisit some of the most tragic disasters the city has experienced from the 1870s up through modern times. Learn about the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the Iroquois Theater Disaster, the crashes of United Flight #553 and American Airlines Flight #191, the Kinzie Street Bridge Flood, the 1995 Chicago Heat Wave, and more. What Happened? Why did they happen? Could they have been prevented? Join us for this fascinating look at some of Chicago’s darker history.

A drawing will be held at the end of the program  15 lucky winners will receive a palm reading from Bob after the show!
