Been watching Reel History recently. Historian looks at history movies. He has a playlist for Band of Brothers. I thought it was kind of interesting - he's partially doing it to flog his book about Dick Winters and his first few episodes are a bit bumpy, but he adds some context with letters and memories from the time even if he doesn't point out every inaccuracy: https://www.youtube.com/c/ReelHistory

Lol, some guy modded in a big freaky centaur monster that can go invisible into his GTA roleplay server. Would use a fancy soundboard to lure people into isolated area with creepy messages then kick their heads in. Then would use recordings of the things they said to troll the next folks, Predator style.

It wasn't the last Concorde flight, but an interesting video nonetheless.

Here's an even more horrifying air crash video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU1f47SC_A8:  sixteen Soviet generals and admirals die due to their own incredible stupidity.  None of them were in the cockpit.

I hate videos like this.

I am 7 minutes in, and the narrator has not told me fucking anything yet other then that a plane crashed and a bunch of high ranking naval officers died. He has said that about 25 times in 12 different ways though.

Did you know that during all of WW2, only 4 admirals died? NO I DID NOT AND I DONT ACTUALLY CARE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED ALREADY!

Excellent. Now it is talking about toilet paper factories.

It's scary that I'm getting the same feed on Youtube that Berkut and grumbler do.  The admirals one I watched a couple of days ago, and I always watch Mentour's accident videos, as they tend to be far more insightful than Mayday.

That's actually a key to the background of the crash.  A non-Soviet person wouldn't really get the entire situation that led to the crash.

I am very confident that I would have gotten the situation just fine without that detail.

A bunch of admirals went shopping before heading home and told the pilot to STFU and fly the overloaded and poorly balanced plane, and they all died.

Yeah, the actual crash was nothing complicated, shitty planes that are overloaded and unbalanced aren't going to take off reliably, the context was everything about it.  Had I not been born to that world, I personally would've found it incomprehensible that a lot of VIPs would be stocking up on toilet paper and oranges to take home with them at the conclusion of their business trip.  As it was, my dad was doing the very same thing; every time he took a business trip to Moscow, I eagerly awaited his return, because he'd be back with bags of pretty basic goods that were nevertheless impossible to get in our town.

I think this channel is great, I've seen a number of his videos.

Drinking History followed up his Tasting History episode about Gladiators with a common Gladiator drink. I probably won't try it, but it is, as always fascinating.


I might try making the Viking blood bread.

That is, alas, how storytelling works.  You usually don't even learn who the killer is until the last 10% of the mystery story.

I've been watching those videos as well. The Roman palate was certainly peculiar.
