privilege.10800:05:02,750 --> 00:05:06,592That all started with abook I read about a disaster10900:05:06,593 --> 00:05:10,959that took place inChicago in July, 1995.11000:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,293One of the deadliest heatwavesin U.S. history, so far.11100:05:17,020 --> 00:05:19,239I can't say whatshocked me more,11200:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,909the fact that hundreds ofpeople died from the heat11300:05:21,910 --> 00:05:26,910in a major U.S. city,or that I had no memory of it.11400:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,069This was a tragedy thatshould've seared itself11500:05:32,070 --> 00:05:34,723into the mind and memoryof every American.11600:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,697But it didn't, and that'swhat shocked me most of all.11700:05:46,220 --> 00:05:49,397So I tracked down EricKlinenberg, the native Chicagoan11800:05:49,398 --> 00:05:51,879who wrote the bookabout the heatwave.11900:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,949When I met him,he was about to brief12000:05:53,950 -->

--> 00:06:19,219we learn to recognise conditionsthat are always present,12600:06:19,220 --> 00:06:20,633but difficult to perceive.12700:06:21,568 --> 00:06:23,739And I wanna suggestthere's a kind of
