Why are there commercials lasting 20 minutes that you can’t skip only on this channel

I just want everyone to know that if I ever pass away in a situation like this and consuming me will help anyone, I would never want them to be shy about it. Have at it, please! Even if you need the food for your pets or something, please by all means. I do not understand this near-worship of human cadavers. They’re not in there anymore. You can’t hurt them or make them angry. Of course you should be respectful in all situations but staying alive is very different than using medical cadavers as puppets in pre-med or something

As far as JFK Jrs story is concerned he and his sister in law made it to the airport on time at 5 pm. His wife, who was always late, even her own wedding started 3 hrs late because of her inattention to time, was the one who didn't arrive at the small airport until after dusk.. Google it..

The Andes segment lands differently when you remember how it actually ended — it wasn't a rescue team that found them, it was Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa walking out of the mountains themselves on a 10-day trek to reach help in Chile, 72 days after the crash. That they made it out at all, after two months stranded at altitude with almost no food, is the part of the story that still staggers me.

57:50 legally, you are not supposed to fly at night if you are only VFR certified….unless something has changed since my training. 😅😂

Juliane Koepcke surviving the crash and then making it 11 days alone in the Amazon is extraordinary. Which detail of her journey surprised you most?

Hoover just covered this crash on Pilot Debrief and determined the pilot wasn't licensed for instrument flying, got disoriented and hit the ground.
I trust Hoover.

Random fact probably no one cares about: When Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper’s plane crashed, Chuck Grassley was just a couple of weeks away from spending one month in the Iowa House of Representatives. He is still casting votes in the main United States senate to this day. He is also the current president pro tempore. He is 93 years old. If that doesn’t tell you something about how modern American laws get passed, I don’t know what will.

The Munich air disaster occurred on February 6, 1958, when British European Airways Flight 609 crashed during its third attempt to take off from Munich-Riem Airport in West Germany. Out of 44 people on board, 23 people lost their lives, including 8 Manchester United players, 8 journalists, 3 club staff members, 1 fan, and 3 crew members. Goalkeeper Harry Gregg survived and courageously pulled several injured teammates and passengers—including manager Matt Busby—from the burning wreckage.
