All right, what happened on September the seventeenth, sixteen eighty three.
A Dutch scientist, his name is Antone van Leemanwook. He
made his own type microscope and he's looking at some
pond water and he saw these little animals in there,
so he called them animal kules. Now now we call
them bacteria now. The guy I had studied a lot

eighty seven in Congress, they sent the Constitution of the
United States to the States. Yes, so they could be ratified,
and they take two years or come back to Congress
in seventeen eighty nine. Now I've told you about some
of the great things that he had Tubman had done
over the years. What all started today eighteen forty nine
in Maryland. Now, her and two of her brothers, they
(05:06):
actually escaped slavery nineteen oh eight, Orvile and Woverwright. They
were at the U. S. Army base in Fort Myers, Virginia. Now,
the Army was kind of interested on buying some of
them airplanes, so it was Orval's job. He had to
show the army how safe and practical the planes would
actually be. So he took twenty six year old Lieutenant
Thomas Selfridge on a test flight. Over two thousand people
(05:27):
had gathered to watch them. They owed and odd as
they flew over the parade grounds and everything. Then the
propeller broke off, so they were about one hundred and
fifty feet high, hit nose first rid into the ground.
Now they didn't have seat belts, so Orville and Thomas
they were both thrown from the plane. Thomas he hit
his head fractures a skull, and he died orvill He
had just spent a month and a half in a hospital,
had broken leg and hips and ribs and all kinds
(05:49):
of things like that. So Lieutenant Thomas Selfridge, he was
buried with honors at Arlington National Cemetery. He has the
honor of being the first person ever killed in an
airplane crash. I guess it's kind of an honor. Now.
When the Army did the autopsy on Thomas, they realized
that had he not hit his head, he would have lived,
ye had None of his other injuries were life threatening.
So the army they did buy some planes from the
(06:11):
Wright brothers, but they made all their pilots for helmets.
