The Storm That Swallowed 12 Ships. Great Lakes' Darkest Day | Fall Asleep To

Описание: The Storm That Swallowed 12 Ships. Great Lakes' Darkest Day | Fall Asleep To

They thought it was just another November gale. They were dead wrong.

In 1913, the Great Lakes didn't just produce a storm—it unleashed a monster. For four days, the world lost contact with dozens of massive steel freighters. When the snow finally cleared, the scene was nightmare fuel: ships were found capsized miles from where they should be, and sailors were discovered frozen in lifeboats wearing life jackets from ships that were still afloat.

This isn't just a history lesson. It’s a cold case from the deep.

In this documentary, we investigate the terrifying anomalies of the "White Hurricane":

The Thermometer Trap: How a 60-degree breeze lured veteran captains into a "kill zone" before the temperature plummeted 40 degrees in hours.

The Mystery of the Upside-Down Ship: For days, an enormous hull floated bottom-up in Lake Huron. No one knew its name. No one knew why it turned over. The truth was more disturbing than anyone imagined.

The "Frozen Roll Call": Why did bodies from two different shipwrecks wash up on the same beach, tangled in each other's arms?

The Unsinkable Failures: How the "James Carruthers"—the newest, strongest ship on the lakes—disappeared on its very first season without sending a single distress signal.

If you think the ocean is dangerous, wait until you see what happens when the Great Lakes decide to swallow the world whole.
