Ep 218: Mystery Deaths at the Bicentennial - Legionnaires' Disease

It's 1976 - thousands of US Veterans in the American Foreign Legion meet up in Philly for a few days of meetings and camaraderie (and we assume not talking about trauma because it was the 70s).

Staying at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel, hundreds of men would get sick when they returned home, and over 30 would be dead in the next few days.

What caused the Legionnaires (and some people who just walked by the hotel) to get sick? Send in the CDC (Rest in Power), shock your hot tub, and throw away your humidifiers for this medical mystery!
