Debunking 5 IDIOTIC Moon-Landing Conspiracy Theories - Yes, WE WENT TO THE MOON

Image
Since starting the Stuff That Happened YouTube channel, I’ve worked on videos about various historic subjects including the 9/11 attack, the Oklahoma City bombing, presidential assassinations, and of course, NASA and project Apollo – the space program that successfully sent the first human beings to the moon.  What I didn’t expect from the comments section was a massive amount of conspiracy theorists who believe 9/11 was an inside job, Oswald was completely innocent, and of course, the moon landing never actually happened.  People love a good conspiracy theory, but I had no idea how deep it went.  I entered into Conspiracy-theory filled rabbit hole on YouTube and discovered just how many of these people exist, and even include actual Flat Earthers who seem to genuinely believe the Earth is a flat like a pancake. I didn’t know these people really existed. I refuse to even entertain these individuals who must be either lying, mentally ill or simply complete idiots.   I will, however, be

The 10 Most Famous SIDESHOW Freaks That REALLY EXISTED!! A 4-Legged Woman.. THE ELEPHANT MAN!!!!

Image
It's a sad reality that on occasion a human being is born with a deformity or abnormality that effects their physical appearance and in turn their ability to live a normal life.  For thousands of years, in the most servere cases, one of the only ways the individual could actually make a living was by being exhibited to the public.  Crowds would flock to these exhibitions and witness these individuals, known as freaks, at what would become known as freak shows or sideshows.   As far as back as the 17th century, Lazarus Colloredo would tour Europe, along with his parasitic twin brother, Joannes Baptista, who protruded out of the chest of Lazarus, but could not speak or open his eyes.  Rumor had it that if you poked Joaness in the chest, he would squirm or shake his hands. These sideshows reached their peak in the 19th Century in both the United States and Europe, during a time when photography first existed, so many of these individuals have been captured on camera or film, as the ma

The Most Underrated President in American History - ULYSSES S. GRANT

Image
Back before the turn of the 20th Century, textbooks and historians routinely placed Ulysses S. Grant in the upper echelon of great American presidents, alongside names like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  However, in the last 125 years or so, historians view on Grant has soured greatly and he is often found towards the bottom of the list on many presidential rankings.  Today we’ll look into the main challenges, accomplishments and failures of Grant during his presidency and why I believe he is vastly underrated and, as a hardcore defender of equal rights, did his part to at least try to bring universal and unalienable rights to all Americans regardless of skin color long before the Civil Rights Act was actually passed.  He also took measures to improve the postwar economy and improve foreign relations. Ulysses S. Grant was of course a famous Civil War General for the north before he ran for president.  During the war in which one side, the South, clearly had more competent gene

Catching a Monster: The Investigation Into The 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing

Image
On April 19th, 1995, a quiet morning like any other suddenly turned into an unthinkable nightmare when the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was torn into by a forty-eight-hundred-pound ammonium nitrate–fuel oil bomb detonated from a truck parked outside the building.  It killed 168 people including 19 children, many of whom were inside a Day Care, which was part of the building.   The city showed incredible resolve, working night and day on rescue operations with help from emergency services and civilians alike.  No looting or violence took place in the aftermath and thousands of people and businesses contributed to the rescue operations, saving many lives.  In the meantime, another operation was taking place – one that involved finding whatever twisted person or persons was behind this atrocious act.  In today’s video, we’ll look into the investigation and the arrest of the Oklahoma City bomber and his accomplices, along with why and how they did what they did and wh
