I recently learned about this and it helped me understand what happened in 1970.

I do recommend you listen to it. Ideally in a place where you can focus on it uninterrupted. One of the narrators was a bit annoying to me though. 

I really appreciated that the author included the perspective of the guard/students/professor/townies. It felt like a thorough story. 

It's a tragedy that didn't need to happen. I hope to go to the museum some day.
