In October the twentieth let's back to nineteen ninety one number one album was Roping the Wind by Garth Brooks. Ran Carey had the number one song with Emotions. Travis Tritt. He had the number one country song with any More za. Kny Pritty, I don't love you anymore.

2:38 I've got to cha, Let fight extract to get on and my thought. Number one book was Scarlett by Alexander Ripley. The top movie was Other People's Money. A corporate raider, he buys a small and then he falls in love with the founder's granddaughter, star as Danny DeVito, Gregory Peck. And Penelope and Miller. All right, what happened In October the twentieth. Eighteen eighteen, The United States and Great Britain got together and agreed that the forty ninth Parallel would be the border between the United States and Canada. What about that Oregon area, Yeah, said we'll just joint control that. It worked for a while, but yeah, about twenty years and then it turned in almost to a war. In World War One, airplane pilots they really didn't have parachute. No, the cock boots, they weren't designed to have a pilot and a parachute. So after the war they actually redesigned the cockpits. In nineteen twenty two, US Army pilot Howard Airs he was in a training flight when the wings fell off of his airplane. Yeah, about twenty five hundred feet up in the air. So he was able to jump out of the plane with this parachute. Now after he landed with only some cuts, some bruises and stuff. Yep.

3:51 He was the first pilot to ever jump from an airplane that had become disabled and actually survived by a parachute. How people had parachuted out of planes to test them, but they wanted to do that. So you go back to March twentieth. In nineteen forty two, Now, after fleeing the Philippines and arriving in Australia, United States General Douglas MacArthur he gave his famous decree I shall return. Well, that didn't do any good for the twelve thousand United States soldiers that he had left behind in the Philippines, or all those Filipino soldiers that he left there. But the United States they went back, and they fought in the Philippines and they were able to take it back from the Japanese. Was today in nineteen forty four, MacArthur he waited ashore and a beach over and lady, it had been secured. Now he was in his perfectly pressed, starched and ironed uniform, surrounded by photographers. He walked on the beach and proudly proclaimed, people of the Philippines, I have returned. However, twenty thousand Yes soldiers had died fighting so MacArthur could make that triumphant return. Now, usually when you see a story about Bigfoot thatwy Wass played that really grainy video of Bigfoot walking across the creek bed that was filmed today nineteen sixty seven. Two hunters got it when they were up in northern California. Now with all the latest technology and everything we have, they've actually gone and done all kinds of research on that. Yeah, they still can't debunk that video. Yeah, it's called the Peterson footage.

5:10 Yeah. The expert conclusion is they don't know what that thing is in the video, but they know the video is not fake. Nineteen seventy five, the United States Supreme Court ruled that teachers could spank students after they gave him a warning. Oh sort of. They actually said that it was up to the states if the states wanted to spank. You know, there was nothing making it illegal to So today, even today, there's no federal loss in that somebody cannot spank a student if they want. It's all state, so they might not do it, But eighteen states still have laws on the books that allow spanking. In nineteen seventy six, a pilot on of a Soviet Airline passenger jet he bet his co pilot that he could actually land that plane with all the windows blacked out. So the two of them they got together and they blacked out all the windows.

5:54 So the pilot hit the runway A one hundred and seventy four miles an hour, caused the plane to flip, killed seventy Now the pilot he was perfectly fine. Yeah, he walked away unhurt.
