Same voice. Same honesty. Just a different focus. On June 16th, 1883, a children’s magic show in Sunderland turned into one of Britain’s worst public tragedies.

183 children lost their lives in the Victoria Hall Disaster — trapped by a locked, inward-opening door in a narrow stairwell.

This episode takes you to the heart of this story where laughter turned to chaos, and where a single moment reshaped safety laws across the world.

Discover how this heartbreaking event led to the invention of panic bolts, outward-swinging emergency exits, and safety standards that still protect us today.

🕯 In memory of the 183 children. Never forgotten.
