GeoGuessr Maps: Areas with Tragic or Disturbing Backstories - GeoWizard Play Along Challenge! Pt.2

Some of the backstories here are brutal!
Whatever brought you to this video, I hope you take something from it that helps you enjoy GeoGuessr more than you did before.
Thanks again for stopping by. Let me know in the comments your thoughts on the video and the game, or maybe you have some ideas on another map you would like me to try!
Until the next one... Happy Pin-Dropping!

Ok here I am again for the summary lol
1 : Collapse of a bridge in the late 19th century
2 : This section of Highway 16 in British Columbia is sadly known as "The Highway of Tears" due to the many disappearances and murders of native women that occured around there
3 : I'm ashamed to inform that it's actually a fuck-up on my part. Basically in 1944 the Waffen-SS massacred a huge chunk of the population of a village called "Maillé" but I got the wrong village, the Maillé of the tragedy is further north, not far away from Tours
4 : Basically the worst industrial explosion in US history involving 2 boats and some ammonium nitrate if I'm not mistaking in the 1940s
5 : A mining dam containing water mixed with chemical and mineral waste ruptured near this area.. And basically the nearby ecosystem got completely fucked up as a result

Amazing insight! Thank you so much! I'll certainly be giving it another go soon

I had already played this challenge and watched Geowizard's video so I was yelling at my computer, telling you to look in Scotland, not Northern Ireland. This is a good map but some of the rounds are tough.

😂😂 exactly what I do sometimes!!

I only know the first one. The bridge collapsed and killed like70 people. The 2nd one was a typical 2 lane highway in North America. Sometimes a side will get a passing lane, especially if it's going uphill. I was thinking of a bus crash that killed a bunch of people in a junior ice hockey team but I think that was in Alberta or Saskatchewan. French one I could only think of WW1/WW2 era events. No clue with Spain. The one near Houston was either what you suggested or a plane crash probably. I remember an Amazon plane crashing in that area a few years ago but don't know the exact location.

I'm so annoyed that I was so far off on the Canada one! 😂🤦‍♂️
I researched the Texas one. It was the biggest industrial accident/explosion in US history! Crazy that I hadn't heard about it!

@@TheIrishGeoGuessr I saw another person do the same game and googled everything. You're right on Texas and the European ones are what I expected. Canada was apparently Canada's was their trail of tears of the 20th century where indigenous women were going missing in that area
