In this episode, Kara is taking us way back to her favorite time period... when everything went to crap or in other words the Great Depression. She starts off with one of the most tremendous dumpster fires of the 20th century which was the stock market crash of 1929. While it was not the sole cause of the Great Depression, it was a foreboding sign of the things to come. Afterwards, Kara describes how the American work force went from one of the most prosperous in the world to mass unemployment and despair.

The rig was drilling the Macondo Prospect, about 41 miles off the coast of Louisiana.
Oil flowed uncontrollably for 87 days before the well was finally capped on July 15, 2010.
An estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil were released into the Gulf, roughly 210 million gallons.
The spill impacted five U.S. states: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
The wellhead sat nearly 5,000 feet below the ocean’s surface, making it the deepest offshore oil spill in history at the time.
