Timeline 1968 – Everything That Happened In 1968

I lived with my family in Hawai'i for the last several years of the 1960s. Because satellite television was in its infancy, there was frequently a one week delay before news got to us.

Given the chaos happening on the mainland and beyond, that isolation was like heaven.

You guys should've mentioned the riots after MLKs death.

I was loving the video until the RFK situation in 68, RFK son said that non of the projectiles from that pew pew hit his father… sooo yeah I am definitely putting this videos tru a finer filter from now

Important yet heartbreaking event on January 20th: Roman Polanski weds Sharon Tate in London. Less than a year later, she was savagely murdered with 4 people at her home in Benedict Canyon…

Don’t forget the tv movie prescription murder that came out February 20 1968 that introduce Columbo

Paul Mauriat's Love is Blue became the first instrumental to top the Billboard charts since 1962 and the only American number one recorded in France.

60 minutes has hid behind journalism while hating this nation faithfully for nearly 60 years. No country is beyond criticism, but it was all Mike Wallace ever knew how to report. One of the biggest A–holes to ever stand in front of a camera.

23:00 Man that was some HORRIBLE goddamn acting

"The 1968 Sulawesi earthquake struck Indonesia on August 14. It had a Richter magnitude of 7.4, spawned a large tsunami, and killed roughly 200 people."

"The Dasht-e Bayaz and Ferdows earthquakes occurred in Dashte Bayaz, Kakhk and Ferdows, Iran in late August and early September 1968. The mainshock measured 7.1 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum perceived intensity of X (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale. Damage was heavy in the affected areas with thousands of lives lost in the first event and many hundreds more in the second strong event."

Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian nutcase who murdered RFK, should have been given the death penalty.

This is my prediction for Timeline: 1969, I can't believe we're now in the final year of the 1960s.

After Timeline: 1969 releases on May 31st, The compilation for Timeline: The 1960s will likely come in late June. Then the next Timeline series will likely come in late July or early August, and I'm hoping it's Timeline: the 2010s.

That 1068 $2.35 lobster is roughly $22.56 in 2026 money.

That's over 28 dollars in today's money.

"You've come a long way, baby" (cough cough cough)💀

You guys do a great job on these videos. Just thought I'd point out , though, that it's Bill MasterTON, not MasterSON of the Minnesota North Stars, that tragically died from a head injury suffered during a hockey game.
