Oh, no, right, Today is National Water Park Day. Now from the youngest kids, the grandma and grandpa, everyone can find something to do and have fun at a water park. Now you've got water pool, you got wade pools, lazy rivers, rides, waiting pulls, slides.

Now water parks, they really don't have to be beg to have fun. You don't have water parking, Yeah, I just go to swimming pool or breakout the slipping slide. Let's see what happened in entertainment on July twenty eighth. Back in nineteen eighty one number one album was Long Distance Voyage. You're by the Moody Blues Air Supply I had the number one song with the one that You Live.

1:45 Anywhere. Hank Williams Junior had the number one country song with Dixie on My Mind. There's a promised lamb all Lama, He. Come back. That number one book was Noble House by James Clovell. The top movie was Arthur a drunk billionaire playboy. He asked him marry a woman he doesn't love, or he loses all his money. Well, he falls in love with the waitress stars Dudley Moore, Eliza Minelli, and John Gielgood.

2:32 All righty, what happened on July the twentieth. Now they are partying big time down in Perue today. It's the national holiday today. In eighteen twenty one, preu declared their independence from Spain, unlike the United States in our July fourth prou they so late for two days. Eighteen sixty six, United States President Andrew Johnson, he actually declared that it was legal for Americans to use the metric system. Well, that's why he was one term president, just like Jimmy Carter when he tried that in the nineteen seventies and recent ball eighty five percent of Americas do not want the metric system. The one thing that our entire country can agree on. Eighteen sixty eight, the fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution was ratified. It gave us citizenship to all former slaves. Yeah they'd been freed a couple years before, but depending on where they lived. Yeah, sometimes they really named the rights it all. So this made all former slaves equal citizens under the law, at least.

3:25 Nineteen fourteen, in New York City, at a party at the New Amsterdam Rooftop Garden, Henry Fox he busted a move on the dance floor no one had ever seen before. Everybody absolutely loved it. They all wanted to learn how to do it. Accent became a popular dance all across the country. They called it the Fox Trot. Also in nineteen fourteen, it had been a month since Serbia assassinated Austria as Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. The other day, Austria they declared war on Serbia. That was it. Ye, World War One was officially started. Now everybody in Europe has had a pick wich side they were on. It's some record high state temperature today nineteen thirty Greensborough, Kentucky. It got up to one hundred and fourteen degrees nineteen thirty four or a final Idoh, they hit one hundred and eighteen degrees nineteen forty five. United States Air Force bomber just doing a rigutine flight, ran into really heavy fog over New York City, ended up slamming into the seventy ninth floor of the Empire State Building. All three crew members on the plane eleven people in the building were killed. Twenty year old Betty Lou Oliver. She was working as an elevator operator on the seventy fifth floor. Well, with all the flying depri and shopping her trapnel he had into. Yeah, Betty, she got really messed up from it.

4:34 So when rescue workers were finally able to get to her, they decided, you know, she needs immediate and medical attention, so we better get her down. So they put her on the elevator, hit the first floor button. What they didn't know is that all that debris and shrapntal that messed Betty up, yeah, had also cut every one of the cables to the elevator. So Betty she free fell over one thousand feet to the building's basement. Of course, everybody knew that she wasn't alive, but they went down there to you know, kind of recover her body. When they got down there, holy crap, she was alive. Now she was kind of messed up, I mean, yeah, but what happened is those cables when they fill down that elevator. Shoot, yeah, they all when they got to the bottom, they all kind of made a little coil. So it's just enough of a spring to keep the Elepher Raider car from actually crashing down the full impact. Now, Betty, yeah she had a broken pel that's broken back, broken neck, plus all the injuries from when she got hit in that explosion.

5:25 But I think it's probably because she was twenty years old. But it took a year and Betty, she made a full recovery.
