Trapped in a cave in 1925, Floyd Collins became one of the first media sensations of the 20th century
In 1925, Kentucky caver Floyd Collins was exploring a new tunnel when a falling rock caught his foot, trapping him 55 feet underground. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow the desperate efforts to free Collins, whose plight became one of the first popular media sensations of the 20th century.
We'll also learn how Ronald Reagan invented a baseball record and puzzle over a fatal breakfast.
