Not many survival stories can rival the miracle that happened to Marine Lt. Col. William Henry Rankin in 1959. See for yourself: one bad day, this man nearly drowned — falling from the sky! Um, are you saying that it sounds too paradoxical to be true? So, it was a high-altitude flight, and Rankin, together with his wingman were flying at the height of more than 47,000 ft. The only thing that could cause some trouble was a storm that was raging far beneath the planes, but now, it didn't present any threat. However, the pilots were supposed to pass through this storm on their way to the Marine air base in Beaufort, South Carolina… Other videos you might like:

I have to eject." – Rankin was in a free fall at a height of 40,000 feet, with a temperature of minus 65 degrees F.
– When the man found himself in the air at such an unprecedented height, he experienced severe decompression. It felt as if his stomach had increased to twice its size, and his nose seemed like it was about to explode.
– Rankin continued falling, and all he could feel besides all-encompassing fear was the shocking cold. – Rankin had been falling through the black clouds with almost no visibility for about five minutes, surrounded by lightning, rain, hail, and violent winds, when something went wrong with the barometer that was supposed to deploy his parachute automatically.
– ut it wasn't just any old thunderstorm. Nope, the unlucky 39-year-old fighter pilot plunged straight into a cumulonimbus cloud. – Lightning snapped and crackled around Rankin, and even though he didn't hear the thunder per se, he could feel it vibrating through his body. The hailstones were so big that at some moments, Rankin worried they would tear his parachute.
– The pilot was shocked to discover that he was relatively unscathed, the lightning hadn't grazed him, his parachute was in one piece, and he hadn't drowned in the rainwater. The only thing he had to worry about now was a safe landing. – At first, Rankin was going down toward a clearing, but his bad luck continued, because, at the last moment, a powerful gust of wind threw him into a tree.
– After freeing himself and staggering to his feet, the pilot limped through the forest until he found a country road. But hitching a ride turned out to be a tough task.
– Rankin spent several weeks in the hospital and made a complete recovery. Later, he wrote the book "The Man Who Rode the Thunder" where he described his experience. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More A Man Who Survived Drowning in the Sky Videos

In the early hours of April 15th, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic, the famous British passenger liner RMS Titanic sank to the ocean depths, leaving just 706 survivors. What ever became of them after this tragedy? Well, some of them went on to live long and incredible lives! For example, have you ever heard about “The Unsinkable Molly Brown?” She's one of the most popular and liked characters in the 1964 movie, and earlier Broadway musical, based on the great ship’s unlucky maiden voyage. But this woman wasn’t just thought up by some Hollywood screenwriter, she was a real passenger! Other videos you might like:

Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” is one of the most popular and liked characters in the 1964 movie, and earlier Broadway musical, based on the great ship’s unlucky maiden voyage.
– But this woman wasn’t just thought up by some Hollywood screenwriter, she was a real passenger! – Speaking of incredible women, throughout her career working at sea, Miss Violet Constance Jessop survived not one but three shipwrecks, the Titanic included.
– The actress Dorothy Gibson, most famous for her role in the 1912 movie “Saved from the Titanic,” was actually one of the survivors of the catastrophe.
– Not long after Gibson arrived in New York aboard the Carpathia, her agent convinced her to star in a movie about the Titanic’s sinking. She wrote the script herself and wore the same clothes in the movie that she did on the night of the disaster!
– One of the most heartbreaking outcomes of the Titanic’s sinking was that it tore families apart. The Navratil brothers, Master Michel Marcel and Master Edmond Roger were just toddlers when they boarded the Titanic with their father. – Their mother eventually saw them in the newspaper, and the family reunited a month after the sinking.
– Eva Miriam Hart was only 7 years old when she boarded the Titanic with her parents. According to Eva, her mother couldn't sleep at all the whole time she was on board because she’d had a really bad premonition about the trip. – Joseph Bruce Ismay was Chairman of White Star Line, the company that operated the Titanic. He was on the ship that night, survived the sinking, and was rescued in Collapsible Lifeboat C.
– Professional tennis player Richard Norris Williams was on board the Titanic with his father. Given that the lifeboats, as many know, were reserved for women and children, these two guys were left to fend for themselves on a sinking ship.
– Perhaps it was purely coincidental or maybe something more, but the resulting wave washed Richard towards Collapsible Lifeboat A, so he climbed in. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More What Actually Happened to the Titanic Survivors Videos

Travelers have always been vulnerable. Centuries ago they were attacked by pirates, but nowadays most of the thefts happen on a digital level. In 2019, transport became the second priority for cybercriminals, right after financial organizations. USB chargers might be traveler-friendly and installed in public places for their convenience, but they're not necessarily safe. IBM Security experts say that cybercriminals use USB ports in airports, train stations and other public places to steal personal data from your gadgets. They have no difficulty modifying USB ports by installing special software that steals the owner’s personal data, including bank information. Other videos you might like:

Special USB cable 4:47
How an outlet in a public place can destroy your device 5:08
❗️ How to protect your security ❗️ 6:29 #protectyourself #personaldata #brightside SUMMARY:
– When you plug the cable into a compromised outlet, you'll connect your smartphone or tablet to an external drive that launches the process of copying your data or installing a virus on it.
– This technology is known as juice jacking. Another way they use to steal your data is called video-jacking, which is also based on using a modified USB port. – Sometimes they don't even bother to do anything to the port itself, they just leave a cable plugged in there. – After smartphone producers learned about juice-jacking, they did add extra safety measures to their devices. Now iOS and Android ask for your approval to get connected to an external device. – There're other risks too. If you've got an Android with an older operating system, or the USB debugging mode is switched off, it’ll be no problem to pass a virus onto it. – There's a function on the latest Apple devices called USB Restricted Mode – it's an innovative defense mechanism, which prohibits data exchange during charging through a USB port. – If you’re using a device with the latest version of the operational system, in theory, there shouldn’t be much danger. But still, if you need to charge it urgently in a public place, don’t use a public USB port. – Bring a common charger and plug it in a common outlet. This is less convenient since there aren’t as many of them in airports, but it’s definitely safe. – Another option is to charge a power bank through a USB port and then charge your smartphone with it. – If that's still not enough, you could buy a special USB cable, which lets you charge the device, but doesn't allow the exchange of data.
– There's also a completely different kind of danger when it comes to charging your smartphone through a USB cable: the device can simply burn out from voltage swell. – Create 12-symbol passwords. It shouldn’t be your mother’s maiden name, the last 4 numbers of your passport number, your birthday or your address. – Don’t share the details of every single step you make on social media. Remember that in doing so, you make it easier for actual thieves to trace your route and rob your house while you’re on a business trip or vacation.
– Don’t ever show your boarding pass on social media. At first glance, it looks like the only information you can get from it is a passenger name and the booking reference.
– If you still don't feel like the vacation has started until you take a traditional picture of your passport with a boarding pass, delete the ticket number, booking reference and any data about your flight from the picture before posting it.

More Why No One Should Use Airport USB Charging Stations Videos

While the “universe” technically means everything that exists, the “multiverse” means an infinite number of those “everythings.” Yes, there’s not just one alternate or parallel universe like you see in movies, TV shows, and so on. There’s an uncountable number of universes that exist side by side in higher dimensions that we can’t even perceive or observe. In each of these universes, there’s an alternate copy of yourself that looks a lot like you. Only, they make different choices that lead to different outcomes on a daily basis. All of this sounds pretty awesome as it gives endless opportunities. But is there any scientific proof it could be real? Other videos you might like:

– There’s an uncountable number of universes that exist side by side in higher dimensions that we can’t even perceive or observe.
– In each of these universes, there’s an alternate copy of yourself that looks a lot like you. Only, they make different choices that lead to different outcomes on a daily basis. – In the universe, be it ours or some parallel kind, everything is connected. The smallest things directly influence the largest things. – Anything that can happen actually does happen somewhere out there. Every possible combination of particles and every possible scenario gives birth to a different universe. – Before the Big Bang, the universe was a super hot, small, and dense point with no stars or any form or structure whatsoever. – To this day, galaxies keep moving away from each other as the space fabric between them is being stretched. – While this is happening, other universes pop up into existence. Some of them have no atoms, galaxies, or living beings because they may be expanding or collapsing way too fast. – Because space-time constantly begins and stretches, it just has to repeat itself at some point. At least that’s what mathematics says. – According to Einstein's famous theory, you can make a loop out of space-time and travel through it.
– As for traveling to the future, it’s also possible according to the same theory. Einstein believed time is not an absolute. – Another possible option to travel to the future is based on gravity. According to Einstein’s theory, gravity slows down time. So time is technically passing by faster on a mountain top than at its bottom. – If the theory of parallel universes is true – you’re making every possible choice you can all the time. And in this way, you’re constantly traveling between parallel universes without even knowing it.
– With the technology that currently exists, humans can’t see what’s beyond our observable universe.
– In 2012, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider discovered the Higgs boson – an elementary particle that gives other particles their mass. Without it, atoms and humans never would’ve formed! – Scientists can’t see these particles yet, but CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has announced their plan to build a larger more powerful collider to discover those particles.

More What Would Your Life Be in an Alternate Universe? Videos

What can be better than sailing off on a yacht into the blue waters of the ocean? Salty wind in your face, waves rocking the deck under your feet… But wait, what’s that? It’s a storm coming! Yeas, guys, going out into the open sea without proper gear is asking for trouble. That’s why your fight with the elements begins even before you set sail. First of all, weather conditions both above and beneath you will clearly warn you of what to expect straight ahead. So you better learn to read the wind, the clouds, and the currents, and always keep an eye on the barometer. Keeping track of all these things just might let you escape the storm. If you don't manage to do that, well… here are some pro tips for you to get out of it in one piece. Other videos you might like:

Head for the shore 1:28
Stay in one place 1:58
Remove wind from the equation 2:34
Cut the waves 3:12
Stay covered 3:41

Stay afloat and together 6:26
Wait for help 7:12
Recount your losses 7:45
Avoid further damage 8:32
Don’t stay on the water 9:06 #ships #storm #brightside SUMMARY:
– Make sure you have enough safety vests for everyone on board — that’s an absolute must. It will also help to have an emergency radio beacon and some additional fasteners to hold every movable object. – If all else fails, and you see the storm approaching, try to find the nearest land and sail there as fast as you can.
– The slower you go in the storm, the easier it is to steer. But the speed heavily depends on the weight of your boat, the severity of wind and waves, and how well-prepared you are.
– If you have a sailboat, remove all the sails as soon as you realize you can’t escape the storm.
– When you’re in control, the sails have been folded, and the sea anchor has been deployed, position your boat at 15 degrees to the approaching waves and wind.
– Tell everyone on board to hide in the cabin or inside the holds, if there are any. – Any object that can be moved, both on the deck and in the cabin and holds, should be fastened and secured. – Make sure you’re as visible as possible. Turn on the lights and sound your horn at regular intervals.
– If you realize that things are not going well for you, turn on your radio transmitter and send out a call for help. – Now that you’re in real trouble, you should wait for help and make sure everyone on board is safe. – So your boat has capsized, and you had to jump into the water to save your life. First make sure that everyone has done the same and do the head count.
– When you’re done repairing the boat and helping your passengers if needed, go to the shore, but do it carefully. After a heavy rain, especially if there’s a river nearby, debris may float in the water. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Yes, it’s a bridge, and it’s three times as tall as the tallest tree on Earth. – At 2,080 ft, we’ve reached the top of the Tokyo Skytree — the tallest observation tower in the world. – Now we’re finally reaching the height of the tallest building ever made: the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It’s 2,722 ft tall, and the sky seems to be closer here than the ground.
– Did you see that lightning? We’ve just passed through a real storm cloud. They’re the lowest hanging clouds of all because they’re the heaviest.
– A little bit of respite, and here we are, approaching one of the highest elevations in the world: Mauna Kea, the tallest volcano on Earth, located on the big island of Hawaii.
– The higher we climb, the more difficult it is to breathe. At this height, though, there’s still enough air for us, it’s just a bit too fresh for my liking.
– And at the moment, I present you the tall, mighty, and unbeatable Everest — the tallest peak in the entire world, located in the Himalayas. – As we’re rising higher and higher, we’ll soon be saying hello to… yes, here they come: cranes! Yep, these birds are crazy when it comes to flying, and climbing up to 33,000 ft is a piece of cake for them.
– 36,000 ft is the altitude that’s often called a sweet spot for airplanes. In fact, it’s anywhere from 35,000 ft to 42,000 ft.
– Tropopause is a layer that separates the troposphere from the stratosphere, and the air here doesn’t become colder with increasing altitude.
– And finally, we’re out of the tropopause and into the stratosphere. The sky here is deep blue, and it’s the highest we can get on our balloon. – In 2005, a man from India rose to 69,850 ft, setting a world altitude record, and safely returned to the ground after that.

Even if you don't know anything else about airplanes, you know the wings are a pretty important part of the whole system. It’s the one idea we took from birds, after all. Not counting the absence of feathers, the most significant change human engineers made over the original design was that plane wings tend to not move. Or do they? In fact, a plane's wings might not flap, but they can certainly bend. In fact, they bend quite a lot for something we're used to thinking of as completely solid and stiff. If you've ever been seated on a plane with a good view of the wings, you might’ve noticed they tend to bounce up a bit during turbulence. What causes this to happen, and how far can a plane's wings bend before they break? Other videos you might like:

What about helicopters? 🚁 6:00 #planes #aviation #brightside SUMMARY:
– The good news is no, the wings aren’t about to come unscrewed and fly off on their own. In fact, it’s precisely because they can bend that an airplane's wings don't break.
– Imagine the wings as shock absorbers in a car. When you drive over a bump, the shocks absorb most of the impact, giving you a much smoother ride.
– If the plane's wings were rigid, even the slightest turbulence would reverberate throughout the entire aircraft.
– There are Japanese pagodas that have survived centuries in one of the most tectonically active places on Earth, all because the timbers were able to flex instead of breaking.
– The first and most significant thing is the material. You might have heard that most planes are made from aluminum, and unless you’re taking to the skies in an early 20th century era biplane, that’ll be true of pretty much any aircraft you climb into. – Aircraft-grade aluminum is an alloy of aluminum and zinc, sometimes accompanied by other metals such as copper, magnesium, and lead. – Adding to the strength of the wing is a structure known as the spar, a metal bar running the length of the aircraft's wings.
– Some fighter jets, such as the American F-15 Eagle, feature titanium spars, and many newer aircraft incorporated specially designed composite materials.
– According to experts, the only way a plane’s wings could break off, was if the airline that owned it was guilty of a truly horrendous degree of negligence. – As with a plane’s wings, helicopter rotors are not one hundred percent rigid. They’re actually even more flexible and will visibly hang down when the vehicle is on the ground.
– The flexibility in the rotors serves the same purpose as in a plane's wings: reducing the effect of vibrations and making the aircraft easier to control. – The next time you jump on a plane for a quick hop across the pond, don’t panic when you see the wings doing a little shimmy. It might not look like it, but they’re functioning exactly as intended. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
