Coast Files

In May 1973, an anthropologist set drift across the Atlantic on a bus-sized raft with 10 strangers, engineered to test the breaking point of human savagery. The tabloids called it the "Sex Raft," but between calculated mind games, near-miss collisions, and whispers of mutiny, the real conflict wasn't what anyone predicted. Tune in to hear what happened over 101 volatile days at sea—and who truly broke first.

When a 1997 Nissan Sentra was found submerged at the Kingston Mills Locks in June 2009, it initially appeared to be a tragic, bizarre driving accident. Inside were four women—three teenage sisters and their father's first wife—trapped beneath the surface. But as investigators began pulling back the layers of the family's life in Montreal, the "accident" narrative completely fell apart.

This week, sit down with investigative journalist and author James Renner to discuss his new book, A Cruise to Nowhere, and the disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley. James’s research challenges some of the assumptions about Amy’s case and has us questioning our original theory about what may have happened to her.

When we lived in Halifax, we used to drive past the Fairview Cove Container Ship Terminal. Most medium sized cities on the coast will have a dock like this where water based deliveries are picked up and dropped off. Massive ships piled high with stacked steel containers filled with anything and everything. You may have also come across videos of these same ships in the middle of their journey with rough waters and intense storms. Your heart stops when you see 1,200 ft waves (or 169 Shaq’s), as the ship dips well below the water line as it moves through these monster waves. It always made me think - do these ships ever lose containers since they’re 10 - 12 containers high? Do these ships ever get in trouble on the water? Yes, yes they do.
