39
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.120
August and nineteenth, seventeen ninety three, A yellow fever epidemic

40
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.439
hit Philadelphia. Now at that time Philadelphia was the capital

41
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.280
of the United States. Five thousand people died the epidemic.

42
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.599
It just stopped in November. Going back then, had any

43
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.879
idea why it stopped? They didn't know that when Philadelphia

44
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.360
is in November, no Mosquitos. That's what was spread in

45
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.360
the Yellow fever. For a little perspective of Philly, they

46
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.479
had a population of fifty thousand people. Five thousand die,

47
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:55.520
so I mean ten percent of their entire city died.

48
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.199
As for COVID, less than half a percent of our

49
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.680

her whole Iron Side. Yeah, she defeated the British warship

52
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:12.080
the Garyere. Now Las Vegas would have taken a beating

53
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.520
on that one. See that was a huge upset the Garyere. Yeah,

54
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.039

00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.319
that's actually what goes into your coffee creamers, your sweeteners,

61
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.599

he was born in Dayton, Ohio in eighteen seventy one.

78
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.399
He was four years younger than his brother Wilbur. Now,

79
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.439
of course the right brothers get credit for the first

80
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.360
airplane flight back in nineteen oh three. Now, Wilbur he

81
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.720
actually was supposed to make that first flight, so he

82
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.040
won the coin toss and everything, but he kept stalling

83
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.759
the plane. So after three tries orble was up. Yeah,

84
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.079
he had no trouble making that first flight. Now they

85
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.399
didn't just make one flight that day. They did big turns.

86
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.079
They flew pretty much all day. I think they both

87
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.360
made like two or three flights. Horrible. He did continue

88
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.480
to fly until nineteen eleven. Then he left flying and

89
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.240
he just ran the company. He was a lifelong bachelor.

90
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.519
