In December 1952, one of the deadliest peacetime disasters struck London. Over four days, a toxic yellow smog engulfed the city, halting life and poisoning thousands. Dr. Xand van Tulleken and Raksha Dave reveal how the crisis unfolded moment by moment, uncovering a shocking death toll far greater than the 4,000 deaths Churchill's government admitted at the time.
