Imagine your backyard is a ticking time bomb. Welcome to Brew Crime. In our first chilling installment of Poisoning, we dig deep into the infamous Love Canal—the idyllic 1950s neighborhood built directly atop 21,000 tons of buried toxic waste. Join us as we recount the decades of hidden illness, the desperate pleas of poisoned families, and the environmental catastrophe that birthed the Superfund cleanup program. It's a terrifying story of corporate negligence, government denial, and how the dream of suburbia became a waking nightmare of chemical poisoning. Grab a drink and brace yourself. This is the truth bubbling up from beneath the dirt.
