paranoid they built bunkers simply in
0:51
case Cuba or Russia pressed the missile
0:54
launch button that would instigate a
0:56
nuclear war had it been released at the
0:58
time it was taken this image surely

1:38
certainly an ionosphere regulator that
1:41
could likewise control the climate the

been involved cages for children this
3:57
strange photo shows a snippet of what
4:00
life was like in the 20s and 30s some
4:03
experts at the time decided that it
4:05
would be good for a baby's health to be
4:07
exposed to the outside air the idea was
4:09
that this would toughen them up mentally
4:11
while giving their immune systems a
4:13
workout as wild as this looks it was
4:16
standard practice for many parents in

those days these were most popular among
4:20
parents who lived in apartments and
4:22
didn't have gardens for the children to
4:24
explore their popularity died off as
4:27
concerns for child safety grew queen

of the Berlin Wall the Berlin Wall was
5:06
constructed with very little preparation
5:08
or planning this recently exhibited

isolating West Berlin from East Berlin
5:15
in just 2 weeks back in 1961 the
5:18
structure ushered in the beginning of
5:20
the Cold War coinciding with the split
5:22
between the United States and Russia the
5:24
barrier included watchtowers along huge
5:27
cement walls joined by a wide region
5:29
that contained anti-vehicle channels and
5:32
beds of nails the Berlin Wall remained
5:34
in place until 1989 the last moon
5:38
landing some people couldn't get their
5:40
heads around the fact that the last moon
5:42
landing happened in 1972
5:45
and none has been done since in this
5:47
declassified image of Apollo 17 we can
5:50
see the last mission to ever land on the

surface of the moon in spite of
5:54
technological advances in space travel

colorful crew it's been reported that

Osama already held extremist views at

this time this claim has been contested
6:30
by members of his family so the truth is
6:32
not all that clear however it is known

that a rift between close family members

had already formed at the time this
