Fifteen incredible true disaster stories from 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.

This anthology collects the very best disaster tales from John Stark Bellamy's five-book Cleveland crime and disaster series.
