Speaker 2 (03:05):
And Penelope and Miller. All right, what happened In October
the twentieth.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Eighteen eighteen, The United States and Great Britain got together
and agreed that the forty ninth Parallel would be the
border between the United States and Canada. What about that
Oregon area, Yeah, said we'll just joint control that. It
worked for a while, but yeah, about twenty years and
then it turned in almost to a war. In World
War One, airplane pilots they really didn't have parachute. No,
(03:30):
the cock boots, they weren't designed to have a pilot
and a parachute. So after the war they actually redesigned
the cockpits. In nineteen twenty two, US Army pilot Howard
Airs he was in a training flight when the wings
fell off of his airplane. Yeah, about twenty five hundred
feet up in the air. So he was able to
jump out of the plane with this parachute. Now after
he landed with only some cuts, some bruises and stuff. Yep.
(03:51):
He was the first pilot to ever jump from an
airplane that had become disabled and actually survived by a parachute.
How people had parachuted out of planes to test them,
but they wanted to do that. So you go back
to March twentieth. In nineteen forty two, Now, after fleeing
the Philippines and arriving in Australia, United States General Douglas
MacArthur he gave his famous decree I shall return. Well,
(04:14):
that didn't do any good for the twelve thousand United
States soldiers that he had left behind in the Philippines,
or all those Filipino soldiers that he left there. But
the United States they went back, and they fought in
the Philippines and they were able to take it back
from the Japanese. Was today in nineteen forty four, MacArthur
he waited ashore and a beach over and lady, it
had been secured. Now he was in his perfectly pressed,
(04:34):
starched and ironed uniform, surrounded by photographers. He walked on
the beach and proudly proclaimed, people of the Philippines, I
have returned. However, twenty thousand Yes soldiers had died fighting
so MacArthur could make that triumphant return. Now, usually when
you see a story about Bigfoot thatwy Wass played that
really grainy video of Bigfoot walking across the creek bed
(04:55):
that was filmed today nineteen sixty seven. Two hunters got
it when they were up in northern California. Now with
all the latest technology and everything we have, they've actually
gone and done all kinds of research on that. Yeah,
they still can't debunk that video. Yeah, it's called the
Peterson footage.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
The expert conclusion is they don't know what that thing
is in the video, but they know the video is
not fake. Nineteen seventy five, the United States Supreme Court
ruled that teachers could spank students after they gave him
a warning.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Oh sort of.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
They actually said that it was up to the states
if the states wanted to spank. You know, there was
nothing making it illegal to So today, even today, there's
no federal loss in that somebody cannot spank a student
if they want. It's all state, so they might not
do it, But eighteen states still have laws on the
books that allow spanking. In nineteen seventy six, a pilot
on of a Soviet Airline passenger jet he bet his
(05:46):
co pilot that he could actually land that plane with
all the windows blacked out. So the two of them
they got together and they blacked out all the windows.
So the pilot hit the runway A one hundred and
seventy four miles an hour, caused the plane to flip,
killed seventy Now the pilot he was perfectly fine. Yeah,
he walked away unhurt. The co pilot he died from
a heart attack on his way to the hospital. So
(06:07):
that pilot he ended up spending six years in jail
for it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
