It's 1987. It's the Port of Zeebrugge, and a whole load of Sun readers are on their way home from a lovely trip to Belgium. 

In what worried podcasters are already calling the 17th episode of the CB Wallop Podcast join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss the The Zeebrugge Ferry Disaster - the 8000 tonne ship that let in water, rolled on its side and created a set of conditions so nightmarish it's almost impossible to make a lighthearted comedy podcast about them. 

Do we press on with it though? Yes… yes we do. 

*Trigger Warning - yup, this one's a bad one. It's also well within living memory, and it doesn't get any less horrific over time. It involves drowning, hypothermia and the loss of children, parents and loved ones.
