I see the podcasts have been transcribed. Not sure if all have but the ones I've searched for have been. Makes it a lot easier to go back over and review what was said during the podcasts. Here's the episode where this was discussed. Episode 24.2: Black Out - Part 2 'Transcript' https://season1.upandvanished.com/episode/episode-24-2/
Thank you sea_glass. Makes it easier to see what was exactly said. I have not worded the heading verbatim as I can see now, but you get the gist. Good to know the transcripts are there to refer to now.
I think this comment was a reckless one that was put on the podcast. It couldn't be verified and it's not worth much except to garner up more ratings on a podcast that had little going for it in terms of facts.
Or..it actually did happen..
