Imagine during those days, the cabin of the aircraft was not pressurized as present. So the plane couldn't fly very high due to lack of air for the passengers to breath. They just used ventilator vents, not air conditioners. Fantastic vintage video.
My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🚂🚃🚄🚅🚇🚈🚉🚊🚝🚞🚋🛤 especially streamlined passenger trains like that one he thinks they are highly underrated and all should be preserved, restored, and put back into service on lines that are not used anymore or don't get passenger service. He also thinks that Siemens, Progress Rail, or any other company that builds railroad equipment should build full size working replicas of historic streamlined trains and the departments of transportation should restore and rebuild railroad lines that were abandoned and removed and run these on them!
If this was made today I wonder if they would tour lovely Skid Row.
These people would be shocked on how airlines have deteriorated if they were alive today.
All these videos are a time capsule we are allowed to look back in to the past

I was born at LA General Hospital in 1949. My parents had an apartment near Figueroa St. and Slauson Ave until I was two and my brother was one. We moved to a small house near 5th Ave and Hyde Park. My parents told me that they paid $5,000 for it. I went to 59th street school. I had friends of every race, religion and origin and everyone was equal in my eyes. I never thought about the differences as a little boy. It was a great time to be a kid. I remember street vendors of all manner of goods and services selling their wares as they walked or drove slowly on our quiet neighborhood streets. On Halloween a nice lady in the neighborhood gave a homemade caramel apple to every kid. This period in my life was the happiest. Sometimes I can’t believe that that kid was me.
Damn you satan economy time line,damn damn

This film was made while the Los Angeles Angels were the local baseball team along with the Hollywood Stars both playing in the Pacific Coast League. 5 years before the Brooklyn Dodgers were relocated to LA.
Why did they install 3 steering wheels on the Queen Mary?
PALESTINE BEFORE, NOW AND FOREVER!! Israel was just an invention 🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸❤️
It's crazy that this country used to function.
Seeing this video reminded me of what a shit hole it has turned into.
So sad to see these great old countries in their current state. Such as South Africa too
New Palestine, they were calling it New Palestine, they also had that name when they wanted to establish a state in uganda, how come zionists today don't acknowledge palestine at all.

My mom and her family were born on a sugar cane plantationin Rincon.The life was hard, they didn’t have makeup, outhouses were common, washing clothes on rocks with the spring water, teeth melting from eating on sugar cane all day. Lemme tell you, it was hard but it was honest and as usual, they made us develop the land, pushed us out and used it for profit. I’m tired of it. It keeps happening all over the world. Stop using us!!!!
Love how they came and did forced sterilization and forced us out of our land in order for them to make our shit vacation land. Foh!
No gangs back then and anti-social people roaming our streets.The police back then sorted out crime ASAP.
Haiti use to be the cleanest place in the Caribbean
How far California has fallen. Such a shame.
White people create 1st world civilization and then White people allow non-Whites to invade and destroy it.
During 1941, Britain already removed natives from their own farms and land and gave that land to white european jewish people. As we see here. And they made rules so that if a native wanted to work on this land, the land that was stolen from them, they would be paid significantly less than these white people in the video. No wonder the native population revolted
When Israelis say there is no Palestine, there is no Palestine.
Ty I’ve always wondered what it was like
I was born in 1951 and lived in connecticut all my life. The saddest thing is seeing how all of the industries have left the state. The Naugatuck valley used to be the brass capital of the northeast but that is all gone now.All the factories have been closed down, demolished,or converted to housing.
Born and raised in Spartanburg, SC. !!! Southern and proud!! God Bless!!!🙏❤️

I remember much of this while growing up. I miss this time. I'm a lifelong OC resident. It doesn't look anywhere like this now; sad.
I wish i could time travel 😢😢
imagine how great Ashoka, Chandragupta Maurya, Chakravarti Samrat Vikramaditya and Chakravarti Samrat Parikshit would have looked
The elephants of Maharaja wore pure Gold ornament on their trunks and that is reason , i guess ,the foreignors like British, franch and others attracted to loot the wealth of our country called that time Sone ki Chidia, the golden bird....

C'était une belle période pour le Moyen-Orient la deuxième guerre mondiale est venue tout détruire avec l'acharnement des nazi sur les juifs qui ont provoqué cet exode artificiel et état forcé par les américains.
My family moved here from Illinois in1959 ,i was 5years old and grew up in Glendale ,it was a great place to grow up. I know this little documentary was typical in the 60s but after all these years it seems really corny and a little comical. But im glad i saw it.
Then 1951 Spain conquer the Philippines
Tel Aviv, built up by Zionists by the help of USA, a city built on blood, a nation built on genocide. And the slaughter machine has erased Gaza, and soon they turn to The west bank. Such evildoers.
