Tragedy and courage walk hand-in-hand in these gripping true tales from Ohio’s past… These ten disasters from Ohio’s past are worth remembering for both their tragic lessons and their inspiring examples of heroism. Includes: • The horribly destructive Xenia tornado, part of the most violent “super outbreak” ever recorded, which wiped out entire neighborhoods … • The sudden and shocking Silver Bridge collapse, during rush hour, into the Ohio River near Gallipolis … • An ill-fated group parachute jump over Lake Erie that landed in watery disaster near Huron … • The Golden Age Nursing Home fire in Fitchville, one of the deadliest such fires in U.S. history … • Cleveland’s great balloon launch fiasco, which earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records—and infamy … • The Blizzard of ‘78—a roaring “White Hurricane” that swept across Ohio and buried the state … • The panicked demise of trained animals during the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus fire in Cleveland … • The Roger Blough inferno—a giant, 833-foot-long Great Lakes freighter engulfed in flames while dry-docked in Lorain … • The frenzied and deadly Who concert stampede at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Coliseum … • The bizarre exotic animal escape in Zanesville, where dangerous beasts including lions, tigers, and bears stalked the community. Veteran journalist Neil Zurcher reported many of these news stories firsthand, and for this book interviewed survivors, heroes, and other eyewitness.

Download Disasters of Ohio’s Lake Erie Islands Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Beautiful and deadly, the Lake Erie islands off the coast of Ohio have seen their fair share of disasters. The Victory Hotel on South Bass Island at Put-in-Bay was once the largest hotel in the nation. But the grand residence was reduced to ashes after a spark quickly became a raging, uncontrollable inferno. Reports of smallpox on Pelee Island resulted in mass hysteria and the quarantine of an entire island. At the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse, one light keeper was frozen in for days with his deceased colleague until he could make a desperate escape. Wendy Koile chronicles the fiercest calamities to shatter the tranquility of these solitary shores.

Download The Disaster Called Ohio Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The economic fortunes of Ohioans since 1979 can be described as a steady, downward slide to a point where per capita income levels hover in the lower one-third of the nation. Past Ohio governors ignored statistics or instituted weak policies to reverse the trend. Ohio now has one of the highest unemployment rates and poverty levels and faces a bleak future. In 2010, John Kasich became governor with the promise of being the jobs governor. To accomplish that, he vowed to privatize the economic development department, calling it JobsOhio, and allow the private sector job growth to be determined by a private sector entity with a venture capitalist from California as its leader. However, despite having removed development from the public sector, he has created a superstructure of politicians and political organizations around JobsOhio. With $100 million in startup funding from state liquor profits, can enough jobs be created to save the people of Ohio? The Disaster Called Ohio takes a critical look at the policies of the past ten years, the focus on job creation, the organizations and people in place for job creation, the ideas, efforts and performance, the realities of the $700 million Third Frontier superfund and the new job creation infrastructure going forward. Mainly, Disaster puts forth the fallacies of the new programs and suggests the proper way for the State of Ohio to proceed with job creation. Disaster is a stark critique; yet, it puts forth fresh ideas on job creation, austerity, creating billion dollar revenue streams, and life enhancement.

Download Cleveland Area Disasters Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Images of America: Cleveland Area Disasters looks back at the historic disasters to strike Cleveland in the first half of the 20th century. It documents the tornados, fires, cave-ins, accidents, and explosions that befell the region during that period. Most Clevelanders have heard stories of the Colinwood school fire, the Lorain tornado, the Cleveland Clinic fire, and the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey fire; however, over the decades, the true events and the tall tales that followed have become blurred. Some disasters, such as the West 117th Street explosion and the Waterworks Tunnel cave-ins, seem almost completely forgotten. Although tragic, the disasters in this book affected the lives of Clevelanders and often generated changes for the good, which prevented these sorts of tragedies from occurring again. Sadly, in some instances, they did not.
