Channel of Catastrophe by Okamifan1 ProductionsFatal Error: Princessof the OrientOn September 18, 1998, in the early stages of Typhoon Gading, a Sulpicio Lines Ferry named Princess of the Orient approached Fortune Island in the Batangas province of the Philippines. On board were 338 souls bound for Cebu, 150 of them would never make it there. What unfolded would be a series of errors made by the captain, that would doom these passengers. References:

Channel of Catastrophe by Okamifan1 ProductionsAction Park, Part 1 (Motorworld)After months of painstaking research, writing, and one case of corrupted recording audio, the first of my long teased Action Park episodes is finally here. Apologies for the poor audio quality, this was recorded in my mom's closet, and a bit of an echo developed.

Channel of Catastrophe by Okamifan1 Productions2019 Season Finale: Stampede on the Dauvuga, the PS MayakovskyOn August 13, 1950, a tragedy would occur on a newly refurbished pleasure cruiser in the middle of Riga, Latvia SSR when an unruly crowd surged onto her decks ultimately causing her to capsize. Of the 350 on board only 207 would make it out. Quickly swept under the rug by the Soviet leadership, this is a story that needs telling. This is the story of the PS Mayakovsy.
Welcome to the 2019 season finale of Channel of Catastrophe.
