35
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.879
Edwin Drake He drilled the first successful oil well. Yeah,

36
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:35.919
up until the n the oil industry pretty much collected

37
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.280
their oil on the surface. Well, Drake, he came up

38
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.199
to the idea to drill for it using a pipe,

39
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.360
and that way he keep the hole from collapsing. Well,

40
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.439
the locals, they were watching him drill, and they laughed

41
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.439
at him. They called the Drake's folly. Then when he

42
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.879
got to ninety sixty nine and a half eight, boom

43
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.400
struck oil. Now the only way you can get that

44
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.120
oil out though after it hit, Yeah, had use a

45
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.479
hand pump, but it worked. Now, of course the oil

46
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.120
industry just exploded a lot of people made millions of

47
00:02:59.120 --> 00:02:59.960

00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.319
He end up dripping, dying broke.

49
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.919
Eighteen eighty three, The biggest explosion the world has ever

50
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.479
known happened when the volcano Krakatoa erupted the island of Krakatoa.

51
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.240
It was actually three volcanic points and the island was

52
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:16.159
five miles by three miles. It's silver in Indonesia. Now

53
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.120
went it exploded. It was the largest sound in world history.

54
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.680
It was hurt three thousand miles away. And now he

55
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.319
had the power of thirteen thousand nuclear bombs that were

56
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:26.080
the size of the ones that we dropped on Japan.

57
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.000
The ash and rocket showed up to fifty thousand feet

58
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.680
in the air. One hundred and twenty foot tsunami was created.

59
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.439
Over thirty six thousand people died either by the eruption

60
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.599
of this tsunami. Today most of it it's all under water,

61
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.840
but it does break the surface and it still erupts.

62
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:44.039
Last eruption of Krakatoa is twenty eighteen. The shortest war

63
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.159
and world h history happened in eighteen ninety six. Lasted

64
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.879
for thirty eight minutes. It was between Breton and Zanzibar

65
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.919
now Zanzibar. It's an island off the coast of East Africa.

66
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.560
Now it's part of Tanzania. But back then the sultan

67
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.039
in Zanzibar, he was a big pro English guy who

68
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.439
was England was trying to colonize most of Africa. He

69
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.080
was all for him. When he just tied suddenly. They

70
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:05.960
didn't know what happened, but they think he was poisoned

71
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.240
by his nephew. See, after he died, his nephew he

72
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.280
claimed that he was now in charge. British said no, no, no, no, no,

73
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.400
we have a guy in mind, don't worry about nephew

74
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.800
said no, I'm in charge. They said no, we're putting

75
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.839
our own guy in there. So the nephew he locked

76
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.639
himself in the ruler's palace with the servants, slaves and

77
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.600
what little military they had. British kept telling you can't.

78
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.360
You don't what I'm saying, you got to go. He

79
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.120
wouldn't go. Even had some of those guy who's take

80
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.120
some shots at the British. Well, the British sad enough,

81
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.319
nine oh two am, British warship shot a shell on

82
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.519
the palace. They stopped at nine forty. The nephew he

83
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.000
was long gone. The British they put their guy in

84
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:40.839
power and the nephew. They figured out I did make

85
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.160
it over to a German colony in East Africa and

86
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.839
