"battered by unseasonable cold". It may have been colder than usual but im fair certain in Antarctica thats entirely relative. Shits always colder than your ex's heart
No unauthorized cinnamon
I am sorry but you are incorrect. The fault passes SF just to the west of the city and runs down the middle of the SF peninsula. None of the BART train tunnels and tracks cross the fault. HWY 1 runs parallel to the fault. have seen that part of the fault in trips on vacation. My paternal grandma was a young nanny working in the Berkley Hills in the East Bay when the San Francisco quake hit. The whole household stood outside and watched SF burn.
Not an accident. A planned test by FEMA with the added benefit of demonizing cheap, abundant nuclear energy.
Based d'Annunzio. Thank you for spreading the word on this important man.
The people contaminated by radiation are called Downwinders. The Govt Officials who knew better and still used people as human guinea pigs for decades are psychopaths. Mormons were a good choice of test subjects. they didnt drink or smoke so less issues in seeing how radiation affects humans health. Many of those underground tests did not stay underground. That radiation spewed from those test is still out there in the soil and water.
Grew up in Covington. Went in the service and never went back. My brother lives less than a mile from the river. Probably feet. You bring this up and man let me say they completely ignore and don't care.
Nov 18th, 2014 I took an Amtrak train to Philadelphia. I had no idea about the history of this town but I can tell the people are very nice because I actually fell asleep and a gentleman was kind enough to wake me up and get me on train. I was on my way to my Daughter Alailah's birth in Doylestown, PA. Johnstown is a beautiful city.
These videos make me wish I was 5 and not 35 so I could see even more of what we do in space before I die. These damn missions take long to plan an complete can we not just mass produce probes and fire them off every week in different directions please I want more info!! Lol
I wuz crew on a Hydrographic ship, went into what is the crater of Crakatoa. very hot water, no observable marine life. Interesting, though
I wouldn’t have a problem navigating without a GPS, or Cellular Phone. I’m 75 years old, and we traveled using maps, and planning our route, before there were navigation aids.
Not sure how much was embellished in this story but consider its crocodile population,, i wouldnt be surprised
I'm disappointed this didn't touch on WHO was displaced and which communities were largely targeted be eminent domain. You got close to saying it multiple times but an intended side effect of the placement of the interstate was to segregate black and brown communities from centers of opportunity, beaches, and white neighborhoods. The displaced people were largely black communities with minimal compensation in a time when redlining was commonplace. This channel historically does better to address the systemic impact of the topics so I was surprised to see these points glossed over
This was recorded before the cryptocurrency crash Bitcoin sounds like an appet comparison.
The Spanish Garrison troops were not too badly armed but it would be a bit of a misnomer to call them "armed to the teeth" they didn't have enough muskets, (about 1 minute 5 was still using a crossbow). And the muskets and Cannon that they did have were generally on the older side most at least 40 years old. Still by the standards of the time they were not too badly off
The Jacobite agenda was not simply independence for Scotland, they wish to restore the Catholic branch of the Stuart family to the throne of England as well, (and Ireland and Wales for that matter).
Interesting Spain bitterly opposed Dutch Independence, yet they allied with eachother against the English French and Swedes.
That’s why we call them Orcs and they act like orcs… hundreds of them are already dying on a dayly base at Ukrainiens front lines… so what
Needs more Simon whistler.
Actually, as long as I had books and tv, I’d rather be in solitary. That way I at least would be safe and my cornhole unmolested.
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana.
People just look for this planete's vidéos to make uranus jokes 😂😂
In the mid 50's my father handed me a map & told "here is where we are & here is where we are going. I want you to be my navigator" what a way to learn about maps & road signs. Even today friends call me JoePS 😅
I am 82 years old and consider the interstate system as one our finest infrastructure systems.
Please learn how to speak English. I was cringing all through this one at the total disrespect of the Channel Islanders.
Interesting and informative. More negative bias than reasonably needs to be, in my opinion. The Interstate is Marvelous compared to what was before. The issues raised are legitimate, but solutions need to be beneficial, not regressive. Passenger rail needs to improve to European standards to be competitive rather than constraining car traffic and forcing people to use the current obsolete and inferior rail by necessity, for example. Eminent Domain needs to be more vigorously challenged by legal means. Pollution standards, highway safety stats and fuel conservation have steadily increased substantially for decades and are all the best they have been in history. With still room for improvement. I wasn't really happy with my half hour commute on I-95, until one day, I had to use public transport. Took 3 hours, walking a mile, then bus, then train, then bus again, then walk ½ mile. So, umm...yeah.
No.
I was only 12 years old when that happened. Uncle Thag lost his life in that, and was unable to find it again. Also his stone tool shop was completely washed away. Fortunately we were on holiday in the Yorkshire Dales at the time, so we avoided the worst of it.
6:32 armed, drunk brits will always be a dangerous combination HAHA
I lived in So. Ca for 45 years and can tell you that 90% of the residents aren't worried as they think the government will take care of them. When the big one hits the entire country will shut down. As for the West Coast, no seaports, roads, trains, gas, electricity, shelter, communication, or banks, and once stores are looted, there is no way to resupply them ... Sorry, but if you're not prepared you will eventually have to eat your pets. So if you care about your family you must be armed and prepared ... regardless of your zip code.
Where is Alice?
san adreas is bad.. Cascadia will be FAR worse.
Bravo ! ❤
I lived in Bellingham for a while, loving the PNW, but when news came out about how a Mt. Baker lahar would affect the outlying communities, I was pleased to return to the East Coast. The camps seem to be divided between alarmists like Simon and those geologists who serenely tell the public that nothing is going to happen.
Wait, the PUBLIC raised money for the GOVERNMENT for the land to build the prison? Am I missing something?
Hey America, I'm pretty sure they have all the oil yano, maybe take some AR civilisation to them and liberate them from the burden of freedom? Just a thought, normally the US would've freed them by now... Lacking now boys c'mon pick up the pace haha
Great video. I have lived on the wet coast all my life. I have dealt with grizzly bears, black bears ,cougars ,wolverines, armed home invaders and I am still here . The odds of me dying in this event are far lower than me being killed in a car crash or killed by some crack head on the streets of any number of B. C. Cities for the 20 bucks I have in my wallet. We sail a 53 foot blue water ketch and I worry about a rouge wave far more than this scenario. Rouge waves at sea happen far more often. Hitting one of the thousands of shipping containers that are floating semi submerged around the ocean are even more of a nightmare. They float just at the level of the surface depending on the buoyancy of the cargo . You don’t have a chance of spotting them unless you sea a wave breaking on them. Cascadia is pretty far down the list on things that are likely to kill me.
Too much unrelated chatter. Blah blah
There was never going to be long-lasting peace. The “dreams” or worldviews of Natives and Europeans were mutually exclusive. If the Natives could have banded together they might’ve pushed the Europeans into the sea in the 17th century. Afterwards, they were doomed to be defeated if not ext*rm*nat*d.
Gibraltar is British and is AT the southern tip of sPian it is not in sPian.
I don’t like this guy
I live about an hour and a half from Galveston. I got there at least once a year. It truly is a fun and beautiful place.
Both Seattle and Portland are a considerable distance from the fault and from the ocean; no tsunami will reach from the Pacific.
What a wildly inaccurate description of events! Wow!
Who the fuck is this? Not into it!
English, French, Dutch and Danish colonies in the Caribbean we're all something of a threat to the Spanish for trade routes.
What happened to Simon Whistler?
Maybe California has a chance in regaining its normalcy.
What about the two I-76's you forgot to mention? one in Colorado and the other in the east.
