14
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.079
On July the twenty third, let's
go back to nineteen eighty six.

15
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.640
Number one album was Winning You by
Patti LaBelle Genesis had the number one song

16
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:51.000

the number one country song. On the

17
00:01:51.040 --> 00:02:12.759
other hand, good All other hand, There's cold not Understand. Their number

18
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:17.479
one book was Wonderlust by Danielle Steele
Todd movie was Aliens Ripley. She's sent

19
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:22.439
back out and has to fight an
alien queen starts Sigourney Waiver, carry Inn

20
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.400
and Michael Bean. All Right,
what happened On July the twenty third,

21
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.439
eighteen twenty seven in Boston they started
offering the first swimming lessons in the United

22
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:31.960
States. Must have been in the
ocean, though, because the first swimming

23
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:36.960
pool won't be both for over the
next forty years. Eighteen eighty sac Steve

24
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.520
Brody, Now he really, really
badly wanted to open a bar in New

25
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.879
York City. Probably Steve didn't have
any money. Well, one night he

26
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.960
was at the bar drink and he
met a liquor distributor. Oh, they

27
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.319
got pretty liquored up, and the
liquor distributor finally said, you know what,

28
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.479
I'll back your bar, Steve if
you'll jump off the Brooklyn Bridge.

29
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.719
Oh. The Brooklyn Bridge is one
hundred and thirty five feet high. It's

30
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.000
almost as tall as a fourteen story
building. Steve started thinking about it.

31
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.080
He realized, you know what,
he really didn't have anything going on in

32
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:05.479
his life, so what the hell
he said he had doe? Well,

33
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.159
he jumped off the bridge, first
person ever to do it and live.

34
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.000
Then he opened his bar. Then
it catch phrase started. It spread all

35
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.840
across the country. It was called
do it brody, which means to do

36
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:17.479
something, you know, take a
chance, or to make a leap.

37
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:22.680
In Leaf of Faith, nineteen oh
four, at the Saint Louis World's Fair,

38
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.319
Ernest Tomoay he invented the ice cream
cone. Now see, he was

39
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.560
selling ice cream in little paper cups
like everybody else was. But he ran

40
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.280
out of the cups. We went
over to the waffle stand next door,

41
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:37.599
bought some maffels, and wife's ice
cream cone was born nineteen sixty seven.

42
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:42.280
Doctor Starzy in the University of Colorado
Hospital before the first successful liver transplant,

43
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.120
did it on nineteen month old Julie
Rodriguez. She lived thirteen more months and

44
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:47.560
after that, but she didn't die
from the liver. She ended up getting

45
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.400
cancer and died from that. When
she died, the liver was fine.

46
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.919
Nineteen eighty three, Air Canada Fly
one forty three L was flying from Montreal

47
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.479
to Edmondton, had sixty one passengers
on board am members. Now seemed like

48
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.000
just a regular routine flag cruising along
forty one thousand feet. Then the pilots

49
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.960
noticed that no one had gashed up
the plane before they took off. They

50
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.639
ran out of gas over Red Lake, Ontario. Luckily, the pirate Bob

51
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.000
Pearson, he was actually an expert
glider pilot, and he saw on the

52
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:18.160
map that there was a decommissioned World
War two airport, you know, Jimmy

53
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:23.399
Jimmy Lee, Manitoba. So he
was able to glide the plane over there.

54
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.360
He landed it. He led it
hard enough where the front landing gear

55
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.439
collapse, but that's probably about as
good as you can do under the circumstances.

56
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.759
No one has hurt or anything like
that. So everyone's out there catching

57
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.160
their breath, you know. And
they opened up the doors and those emergency

58
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.399
shoots shot down so everybody could slide
out of the plane. They looked up,

59
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:44.160
they realized that, you know,
that decommissioned airport over and jim Jimmily,

60
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.279
Yeah, I'd been turned into a
drag racing strip. Yeah, the

61
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.439
stands were just full of people and
the racers were all sitting around, sitting

62
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.519
on their cars. Yeah, the
plane was kind of in the way,

63
00:04:53.439 --> 00:05:00.160
