An app that brings you face to face with the Eastland Disaster.

In 1915, 850 people died when the SS Eastland sank in the Chicago River. An "augmented reality" app called Chicago00, from the Chicago History Museum puts you there. The app will also take you to the 1968 Democratic National Convention, the St. Valentine's Day massacre and the 1933 World's Fair.
