This Podcast Will Kill You

CHAPTER

The History of Altitude and Altitude Sickness

Aaron Welsh: I'm really excited for this, especially because before starting this, I had no idea what the history was going to be. He and his two companions went up to past 8,000 meters, which by the way is like over 26,000 feet. And they all lost consciousness and then their balloon went out. They crashed and two of the three died. That is horrific and also makes me so intrigued in what the history of today's episode is going to be Because it is nothing like what I expected.
