Madness Mantra: A mortician's assistant was found wandering the streets muttering "I can't identify that body, take it away," after working for three days straight in the wake of the General Slocum disaster.

comment
The Empire: The British took on this role during the Irish Potato Famine, seemingly (and possibly actually) doing everything in their power to make the famine as protracted and deadly as they possibly could just to avoid giving away abundant food to starving people.

comment
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Cokeley, the first crew member of the General Slocum to hear of the fire, attempted to put it out and, failing in that, left for help, but left the door open, causing oxygen to reach the fire and turning a minor problem into a major one.

Human Traffickers: The victims of both the Morecambe Bay Cocklepicking Disaster and the 2013 Lampedusa Migrant shipwreck were being trafficked into Europe, the former serving as slave labor and the latter likely to suffer the same fate.

 Great Disasters (Podcast) / int_b47d95be
comment
No OSHA Compliance: To be expected, given the subject matter. Special mentions go to the Station Nightclub Fire, Apollo 1, the Morecambe Bay Cocklepicking Disaster, and the Lampedusa Migrant shipwreck. The General Slocum had a firehose and life preservers that hadn't been maintained, and had completely dry-rotted to pieces. In addition, many of the ship's lifeboats were both painted and wired in place, making them unusable.

Mistaken for Apocalypse: In a rare tragic example, many of the Romans caught in the Vesuvius eruption believed the world was ending. Entirely justifiable, given the carnage.

Big Damn Heroes: When Vesuvius erupted, Pliny the Elder attempted to organize a rescue and evacuation mission. Sadly, he failed and lost his own life in the process.
