People reported smelling an odor like rotten eggs or gunpowder, felt a warm feeling, and quickly lost consciousness. Survivors, who woke 6-36 hours, felt disoriented and weak, and found that their friends and family were all dead. About a day later began the grim chore of recovery and burial.…

    In this paper I will discuss whether the Chicago Heat Wave as written about in Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago by Eric Klinenberg, is best defined as a social or natural disaster. Klinenberg talks about each as a possible explanation for the Chicago Heat Wave. Like Klinenberg I believe that the Chicago Heat Wave was a natural disaster, there were record temperatures and the city could do little in defense when faced with situations like this. However, this explanation does not account for why so many people died or why some areas or sorts of people had higher rates than others, for this reason I believe the Heat Wave is better defined as a social disaster.…

I too have participated in this dangerous act, and I also have many friends that take part in this action on a normal basis. When we are drinking, we don't intend to do it to harm ourselves or anybody else, we do it for the excitement and ruthless emotion it brings.…
