The Eastland Disaster
This summer will mark the 100th anniversary of the horrible Eastland Disaster in Chicago. A boat overturned in the Chicago River and 844 people died. There have been some graphic pictures of that day avaiable for many years (all of the newspapers were literally just around the corner), but someone just found a film of it.
