I saw this movie as a kid and only have vague recollections of it. As I watched this, I was like, this seems familiàr and then you said Towering Inferno at the end and I got the joke. Being new to the channel I was unaware of the April Fool's Day prank. Nicely done!
There’s a prion disease in which you basically laugh to death. It’s called Kuru, and it’s very rare. Most cases are found in an Australian tribe.
This is hilarious 😂😂😂 people got SCARED
The tube is still a shit hole these days. Hot, dirty, unreliable and expensive.
WE HAD A CARRINGTON LIKE EVENT LAST WEEKEND! Look it up- there’s a guy with a great video about it. Check it out!!
Well this is just sad 😢
The TWA plane was shot down by a missile. I saw. a video showing missile rising from seal level up ... That video is no longer available on internet. The electrical spark in fuel tank is a poor excuse, dirty lie.
It’s the bg music that gets ya, idk why, but it’s always the music in these kinda videos that freaks me out, the story too but it’s always the bg music first…
Fun fact: the word "selfie" originated here in Australia 🦘🌏🤳
Ok, Michael Jordan ate some figs💯
interesting that during the Carrington event the aurora were visible for a whole week, where the may 10-11 event they were only visible to for 24-28 hrs. i live in Christchurch, New Zealand which is a latitude of 43* south and the aurora was visible and bright to the naked eye (@ around 9pm) at times and other times it was barely visible (@ 8pm an hr before) but it did not look like day time to the naked eye so i would assume that the Carrington event was significantly stronger like a lot stronger than the may 10-11 event.
Great video but did also reawaken my fear of being mobility impaired in a tall building and having to either take the stairs or wait for rescue to escape a fire
I forgot about this. I lived in antelope, ca and had to travel down antelope rd and roseville rd past this place to high school everyday because there was no high school in antelope.
I heard that it was a donkey instead of a goat, but hey, at least he died being happy.
Gruesome but a quick way to go
If you gotta go, go with a smile.
Mobile phones where at that time not yet available. Great English.
The Earth to the Moon.
The annual remembrance and the memorial are very touching and proper
I can't imagine dying in a plane crash because of a pilot's narcissism. Brutal.
The Sun may just end up being our "Great Filter." Pausing or resetting human "progress" on a repeat cycle. Eventually time runs out.
Is it stoic to laugh excessively? 🤔

And the darwin awards go to…
Hey shouldn’t have gotten rid of Mussolini. He made the trains run on time
The Olympics are gay
And we just had another!!
amazing
My great grandmother was there, making coffee and feeding people as the workers were pulling children's bodies out of the wreckage. When I was a young adult, she opened up and told me about the sheer loss and horror. There's a beautiful cenotaph on the highway. It's worth stopping to take it in.
America wasn't superior than the USSR in terms of space exploration. The USSR had most of the firsts in the space race- they won it.
Goats are inherently funny. Look at them at your own risk.
So, why did the company do all those upgrades to their two remaining boats and then never operate again? What was the point? Some insurance or lawsuit reason?? Maybe they wanted to sell those remaining boats?
I have watched so many of these disaster documentaries over the years, but I'm just coming back (not even watching) to say that this is the absolute worst one. The images and videos still haunt me to this day unlike every other disaster.
That’s how I want to go.
What happened to the three monsters who did this?
BADASS!
I am rarely horrified by a measured voice telling mostly benign stories set to scenic images. This time is no different.
Are there any on display in GB?
*Rules Written In Blood* *Profits Over Peoples*
Wish I had the dopamine that guy did.
Ver-Gyn??A??
Yeah I just photoshop myself into a spectacular background😅✌
On a trip to Spain with friends: Friend 1: 'hey, the bull runs coming up' Friend 2: 'yeah, we should go' Me: *morphs into old Captain America* 'no, I don't think I will'.
Can say I have never taken a selfie
11:05. It was definitely due. Surprisingly nothing happened to the grid.
Had a weak heart probably.
There’s literally a disease going through the water system down near there too, thanks google algorithm
click bait ! There are no selfies.
My dad worked on the railway and reckoned he was Pixilated is usually used to describe things considered whimsical, or people who seem dazed or lost in thought. And for one moment forgot where he was he might have been thinking about the car he was buying ?
Enlightened me, bc 312 came out in Michigan lottery yesterday. 👀🫠
