The 1960’s Terrifying Method to Board a Flying Plane | Tales From the Bottle

The faulty skyhook

I like the nob judgnental "but jetpacks seem to still be in the unreliable peice of shit stage of development"

Yes they suck but this is a normal step in the process as well.

Much of scientific evolution jas been
"How do we make this not shit."

It Tracks that they used a US Marine for the first human test…. On another note; do you know why the US Marines has the best Dress Uniform of the US Military? Because the least we could do is bury them in something decent.

So cool, pulling it up vertically means you could use it on people in the water (it doesn't drag you through the water, which at those speeds is probably badddd), as the demo videos showed.

05:55 OH MAN THAT HAD ME IN STITCHES!

There is a nonzero percent chance that these "glass" Amys could've been inspired by the Still Lifes from the backrooms. Especially if you compare them to the older "glass" Sonics

Your artwork cracked me up this time. The slice of guy removed, and that poor unfortunate pig!

I’ll try it, I already lost both legs in a work accident, if anything I’d be more aerodynamic 😂 and I survived 57,000 volts 8 years ago so I’m deadset keen.

THE FULTON DEVICE

Absolutely terrifying? Yes. Dangerous? Actually, no (one fatality in about 17 years of use isn't bad). Better than being captured by the enemy? Absolutely.

We got really creative in ww2

Just give me one chance to be on the end of the fulton skyhook…LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

I would've thought that Helecopters would be used by the 1960s.

The Skyhook was used in "The Dark Knight".

Star Trek, beam me up.

This concept was used in during WW2, – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_in_Shangri-La

I talked to 1. a guy who was part of human trials testing and who had in turn met Fulton personally. He said it was very gentle when done properly.
2: I worked closely with an engineer who was a test technician on the Fulton tests before humans. Every accelerometer on the test dummies he wired. He witnessed tests and talked to other guys who had taken the ride. They all reported it was gentle, but possible to screw up.

Is there a biologist who can explain why pigs are so similar to humans in so many ways? It's weird

5:39 Helicopter helicopter 🚁

"Fuck this shit. I'm out."
😎✌️

One of my favorite items in the Metal Gear series!

I keep watching the animated pig assault that soldier and it only gets more hilarious each time
