About this listen

EPISODE 3: "UNDER THE RUBBLE: STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE" This episode explores survival beneath collapsed man-made structures, centered on three powerful stories:
  • Haiti Earthquake Survivors (2010): The extraordinary case of Evans Monsignac, who survived 27 days buried in the ruins of a Port-au-Prince marketplace after Haiti's devastating earthquake, challenging medical understanding of survival limits.
  • Mexico City Earthquakes (1985 & 2017): The parallel stories of earthquake survivors in Mexico City's unique geological context, including Yusleidi Figueroa's 36-hour entrapment in a tilted but intact office space, and the controversial search for "Frida Sofia."
  • The Oklahoma City Bombing (1995): Survivors of America's deadliest domestic terrorist attack prior to 9/11, including Florence Rogers, who witnessed her colleagues' deaths when a conference room floor sheared away, exploring how terrorist attacks create unique psychological challenges.
