Y'all got the 1986 Space Shuttle information wrong too. It was Bob Ebeling that came out in the 1986 Congressional and Rodger's investigations and publicly stated that the O Rings would not hold in a cold temp launch below 40 F. Ebling and Roger Boisjoly were the two engineers that tried to get the launch stopped. He even first refused to watch the launch, until a friend talked him in to watching it. His friend even tapped him on his shoulder and said something like "We pulled another one off" just before it exploded. He went on NPR and stated that he still felt responsible for the Challenger accident. But he first went public with the O ring information back in 1986 not 30 years later. All that information is easily found and you can probably find the 1986 commission and Congressional videos of Ebling and Boisjoy testifying about the problems with the O rings. He even talked about the memo he sent up warning about a cold launch and the possibility of an O ring failure back in 1985 and they could only qualify the O rings down to 54 F, not at the 18 F that the temp was on the day of the launch. More like this video is one big mistake. Sorry guy, but do a little research on the facts before posting. We have enough fake B/S out there now to deal with.
It didn't take three decades for the cause of the space shuttle disaster to come out. We knew about engineers from Morton-Thiokol telling NASA about the O-ring problem and trying to stop the launch within a few days. It was a mistake, a big-fat bureaucratic one, but something we have known about for many years. Of course, like all bureaucratic mistakes, nobody responsible was ever punished.
There was another reason that King Louis XVI's and Marie Antoinette's attempted escape from France failed -- the King's fondness for food. King Louis loved to eat. Not only did he consume four gigantic meals a day, but his servants followed him around the palace bearing trays full of snacks, and he always carried apples in his pockets. He grew so fat from all this food, that people called him "the walking stomach." Some historians have suggested that it was because the King ate so much that there was hardly any food available for the poor people of France, including bread, which was one of the most common staples of the French diet. This is supposedly what led Queen Marie Antoinette to make her legendary statement that if the people had no bread, "Then, let them eat cake." (Actually, this story is a myth; there's no proof that the Queen ever said anything of a sort; in fact, the statement existed long before Marie was even born) This alleged callousness on the part of the King and Queen is considered one of the many causes of the French Revolution. In any case, when the Royal Family tried to flee from the revolutionaries who intended to do away with them, the King, every now and then, would insist that they should stop by the roadside so they could have a picnic, and this proved to be their undoing, because the Revolutionary soldiers were able to track them down -- by following the trail of debris left over by the picnics! If King Louis had thought more about his family's safety than he did about his appetite, there's a good chance that they all would have made it out of France (perhaps even out of Europe) alive and unharmed, and neither the King nor the Queen would have ended up on the guillotine. Thus, the subsequent course of French history might have been quite different, but of course, we may never know.
Joseph Hazelwood literally took the fall for what was a disaster caused by Exxon's upper management. Although "The Captain" is ultimately responsible for whatever happens on his ship, he was off duty when he was plastered in his cabin, asleep. The management had everything to do with the non-functioning ship's radar (it had been out of service for 11 months). Also the third mate was required, or "strongly encouraged" to refuse piloting service when entering Prince William Sound. And, by the way, all those billions supposedly awarded to the Alaskan Natives who were made destitute by the spill? Appeal after appeal has whittled away at the total to where it is a mere fraction of what the jury awarded!!
It wouldn't have mattered if Rommel had been in Normandy on D-Day since Hitler had kept control of the Panzer divisions that could have destroyed the invasion. When Rommel called to ask for control of the Panzers Hitler was asleep and no one would wake him
@@davidhoward4715 Keep your politics to yourself. Your obsession with Trump hate or whatever is stinky. I only made an observation and a correct one at that. I love you friend.
There's a documentary that shows what could happen during a hypothetical weeks long widespread blackout. It's here on RUclips if you want to watch it. It's pretty interesting.
Rommel did have a habit of being somewhere else when things kicked off. He was not there when the British attacked at El Alamein, nor was he there when Patton attacked in Tunisia. So not being therefor D-Day should not be a surprise.
Harald Jäger: "Hey sir, there are people storming the Berlin wall and are trying to take it down." Higher Up: "Nah bro you're just a coward for overselling the probable situation." Harald Jäger: "Bet."
For D-Day the biggest mistake was the Germans were duped into thinking the Allies would land in the Pas-de Calais are not Normandy? Rommel was good, but one General being there in Normandy might not have had a difference as this suggests.
Many stories on this one. The king and queen of Spain knew the world was round, and they knew it's approximate size ( 200 BC). Too far to go ! Columbus may have known Knights Templar trips to western lands.
Munich Agreement (1938); Hitler's attack on USSR (1941); French tactics in Hundred Years'War; Fall of Singapore (1942); introduction of communism; Oil Embargo (1973); Chernobyle (1986); Challenger (1986); Apolo 13 (1970); Watergate Scandal (1972); fall of Iranian Shah (1979); etc.

Robert Maheu He was in control, but he put pleasure over business, that wound up costing Germany in the end. Also he wasn’t the general everybody said he was either because he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed when it came to calculating how much fuel they needed for each blitzkrieg attack. They would often run out before they were finished.
It wasnt a mistake as is the case with several of the things on this list. The allies had 150k men going up against 10k german reserve troops. There was nothing Rommel could have done if he had been there. Not to mention the german response was slowed as the generals needed approval from hitler to do things and he was asleep late into d-day as no one wanted to wake him. So he wouldnt have even been able to do anything without hitlers approval, and even if he did theres nothing he could have done to win that battle. The odds were impossible.
@@The_blindpizzaguy1300 Germany would have lost anyway. Most of the deaths were caused by the USSR and if D Day failed USSR would have still raped them because the true problem of Germany was the metal , the oil and the manpower (USSR had all of them) Hitler had a plan that was condemned from the start (2 side war with no superpower allies) Hitler was sure the allies would land at Calais and Rommel took the decisions to fortify Normandy a little bit , but as you know it wasn't enough.
@@The_blindpizzaguy1300 He was 2nd in command in the west. NO officer in the German army believed they would attack where they did or when they did. From Hitler on down they were sure they would attack around Calais and there was a huge storm that would keep them from attacking. The allies actually got extremely lucky with the window in the storm. As for the panzers running out of fuel, if you're talking about in N Africa. They were always low or out of fuel because the allies specifically GB tore the crap out of their supply ships in the Mediterranean. And Rommel did not use the "blitzkrieg" strategy. His tactics in N Africa were far better than that. The only thing that did stop him in N Africa was supply.
In the case of Columbus, we may be mistaking a sales job with actual mistakes. If Columbus read Plato, he would have known that beyond Atlantis (what Plato called the Azores) was the opposite continent that surrounded what can be called the true ocean. If he was aware of the Icelandic Chronicles and read them, he would have known about Vinland and the adventures of Leif Erikson. Columbus was right in that Japan and the east Indies were to the west, just that there was North and South America in the way. Columbus might even have known that Portuguese fisherman were working the Grand Banks off the coast of Canada. But apparently he needed the dazzling civilizations of Japan, China, and the spices of Indonesia to sell his project to the Ferdi and Izzy.
Christopher Columbus was not the ISIS of his day. He was a man of courage and vision who overcame many personal obstacles to achieve the discovery of the western hemisphere and open the doors to civilization and settlement.
The impact of the European colonization on Australian Indigenous people (which was hinted as being a disaster) is noticeably similar to the colonization of North America and the impact that had on native Americans. Remember that saying about glass houses and throwing stones.
Jason Ayala Spare One of the most populair teve series in Sweden was in the 70's was a brittish about shipping their prisoners to Australia. I can't recall anything about native people...
Columbus was not the demon recent revisionists believe - or want to believe - him to have been. How can you call someone "prolific"? Rommel was a good general, but "prolific" means nothing by itself. The O-rings on the Challenger were only there because of politics: the boosters could have been made in single pieces without joins, but were instead made in halves in Utah, and could only be transported to Florida in halves - that was the biggest mistake. Flying it was dumb, and cowardly, and completely avoidable. (Apart from the fact that reality is messy, and people are cowards and idiots.) Exxon Valdez: "Had their lives shortened" = died. Blame the company for being tight-fisted, not the crew. Rubbish channel.
Rommels ghost division was so named because the high command had no idea where he was.When told to be no further than a set of coordinates,he asked if he was to retreat.
I love the ridiculousness of talking about the D-day invasion and showing a clip from "Dunkirk", with 4 years separation between the two and the fact that the allied troops were going in opposite directions! - and then showing tanks in the North African desert too!
@@mack7235 well why stop there?

So the security person who let Gavrilo Princip through to be able to assassination Archduke Fransz Ferdinand starting World War 1 doesn't get listed here...?
Regardless of Rommel being there or not, the allies would have secured the beach head sooner or later, sure he would have given allied troops hell if he was there at the right time, but allies were just superior in every other way especially in supplies and air superiority and Germany could not even replace even a fraction of the losses unlike the allies
jacob D Exactly, and it wasn’t even his fault, it was Hitler’s. Hitler was asleep when D-Day occurred, and he also made it to where Rommel only had like two tank divisions in Normandy instead of the amount that Rommel himself wanted. This video makes my head hurt
I read an article about the exxon valdez disaster that claimed cost cutting measures were the real cause and the captain was just a scapegoat. While I can't vouch for the veracity of this, the article was quite convincing; it certainly isn't rare for corporate greed to lead to disaster & suffering.

Then when called out about Columbus you try to deflect by pointing at other races actions as if it justifies what Columbus did... If I were also a racist and in denial of the Facts youd be the LAST person I'd want trying to defend the Sickness and Ignorance it represents you Completely botched it...
@Aeternalis Armentarius Get a grip
Columbus was a great man for the times, and if he did not make his voyage, none of the people who work at Grunge would exist. The fact that you have to start off by calling him a terrible person instead of just pointing out his mistakes speaks volumes.
He was a terrible person
FWIW, the fact that the relevant engineers were no go for launch of the Challenger, and were overruled, has been known ever since that time.
Y'all got the 1986 Space Shuttle information wrong too. It was Bob Ebeling that came out in the 1986 Congressional and Rodger's investigations and publicly stated that the O Rings would not hold in a cold temp launch below 40 F. Ebling and Roger Boisjoly were the two engineers that tried to get the launch stopped. He even first refused to watch the launch, until a friend talked him in to watching it. His friend even tapped him on his shoulder and said something like "We pulled another one off" just before it exploded.
He went on NPR and stated that he still felt responsible for the Challenger accident. But he first went public with the O ring information back in 1986 not 30 years later. All that information is easily found and you can probably find the 1986 commission and Congressional videos of Ebling and Boisjoy testifying about the problems with the O rings. He even talked about the memo he sent up warning about a cold launch and the possibility of an O ring failure back in 1985 and they could only qualify the O rings down to 54 F, not at the 18 F that the temp was on the day of the launch.
More like this video is one big mistake. Sorry guy, but do a little research on the facts before posting. We have enough fake B/S out there now to deal with.
It didn't take three decades for the cause of the space shuttle disaster to come out. We knew about engineers from Morton-Thiokol telling NASA about the O-ring problem and trying to stop the launch within a few days. It was a mistake, a big-fat bureaucratic one, but something we have known about for many years. Of course, like all bureaucratic mistakes, nobody responsible was ever punished.
There was another reason that King Louis XVI's and Marie Antoinette's attempted escape from France failed -- the King's fondness for food.
King Louis loved to eat. Not only did he consume four gigantic meals a day, but his servants followed him around the palace bearing trays full of snacks, and he always carried apples in his pockets. He grew so fat from all this food, that people called him "the walking stomach."
Some historians have suggested that it was because the King ate so much that there was hardly any food available for the poor people of France, including bread, which was one of the most common staples of the French diet. This is supposedly what led Queen Marie Antoinette to make her legendary statement that if the people had no bread, "Then, let them eat cake." (Actually, this story is a myth; there's no proof that the Queen ever said anything of a sort; in fact, the statement existed long before Marie was even born) This alleged callousness on the part of the King and Queen is considered one of the many causes of the French Revolution.
In any case, when the Royal Family tried to flee from the revolutionaries who intended to do away with them, the King, every now and then, would insist that they should stop by the roadside so they could have a picnic, and this proved to be their undoing, because the Revolutionary soldiers were able to track them down -- by following the trail of debris left over by the picnics!
If King Louis had thought more about his family's safety than he did about his appetite, there's a good chance that they all would have made it out of France (perhaps even out of Europe) alive and unharmed, and neither the King nor the Queen would have ended up on the guillotine. Thus, the subsequent course of French history might have been quite different, but of course, we may never know.
I really love it when I don't have to watch the video, because the whole script's been put in the description
Joseph Hazelwood literally took the fall for what was a disaster caused by Exxon's upper management. Although "The Captain" is ultimately responsible for whatever happens on his ship, he was off duty when he was plastered in his cabin, asleep. The management had everything to do with the non-functioning ship's radar (it had been out of service for 11 months). Also the third mate was required, or "strongly encouraged" to refuse piloting service when entering Prince William Sound.
And, by the way, all those billions supposedly awarded to the Alaskan Natives who were made destitute by the spill? Appeal after appeal has whittled away at the total to where it is a mere fraction of what the jury awarded!!

It wouldn't have mattered if Rommel had been in Normandy on D-Day since Hitler had kept control of the Panzer divisions that could have destroyed the invasion. When Rommel called to ask for control of the Panzers Hitler was asleep and no one would wake him
Playstation logo on bag from footage of 1977 blackout. Obviously not real footage.
I noticed the same thing. Had to do a double take and rewind the footage lol

There's a documentary that shows what could happen during a hypothetical weeks long widespread blackout. It's here on RUclips if you want to watch it. It's pretty interesting.
During the first blackout everything was calm in NYC
King Nothing With your scenario, I’m starting to appreciate the 2nd Amendment more and more.
Summer of sam movie is abt that. Mmmmmm Adrian Brody!
Rommel did have a habit of being somewhere else when things kicked off. He was not there when the British attacked at El Alamein, nor was he there when Patton attacked in Tunisia. So not being therefor D-Day should not be a surprise.
Harald Jäger: "Hey sir, there are people storming the Berlin wall and are trying to take it down."

Well.... the wall/fall was a total disaster--for the Reds.
As for the worst 'fail' in history, I submit my marriage...no contest!!!
For D-Day the biggest mistake was the Germans were duped into thinking the Allies would land in the Pas-de Calais are not Normandy? Rommel was good, but one General being there in Normandy might not have had a difference as this suggests.

Yep that's a pretty big one to overlook.

Lies about Columbus.
Except it’s all true and he believed until he died he found the East Indies
Many stories on this one. The king and queen of Spain knew the world was round, and they knew it's approximate size ( 200 BC). Too far to go ! Columbus may have known Knights Templar trips to western lands.
That footage is clearly not of 1977. Someone is holding a Playstation bag at the 5:50 mark. LOL

Toronto was clearly an advanced city in the 1970's.
lol given the evidence in front of Rommel and how he was not really in control of anything, how is Rommel being away and idot mistake lol,
Robert Maheu He was in control, but he put pleasure over business, that wound up costing Germany in the end. Also he wasn’t the general everybody said he was either because he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed when it came to calculating how much fuel they needed for each blitzkrieg attack. They would often run out before they were finished.
It wasnt a mistake as is the case with several of the things on this list. The allies had 150k men going up against 10k german reserve troops. There was nothing Rommel could have done if he had been there. Not to mention the german response was slowed as the generals needed approval from hitler to do things and he was asleep late into d-day as no one wanted to wake him. So he wouldnt have even been able to do anything without hitlers approval, and even if he did theres nothing he could have done to win that battle. The odds were impossible.
@@The_blindpizzaguy1300 Germany would have lost anyway.
Most of the deaths were caused by the USSR and if D Day failed USSR would have still raped them because the true problem of Germany was the metal , the oil and the manpower (USSR had all of them)
Hitler had a plan that was condemned from the start (2 side war with no superpower allies)
Hitler was sure the allies would land at Calais and Rommel took the decisions to fortify Normandy a little bit , but as you know it wasn't enough.
@@The_blindpizzaguy1300 He was 2nd in command in the west. NO officer in the German army believed they would attack where they did or when they did. From Hitler on down they were sure they would attack around Calais and there was a huge storm that would keep them from attacking. The allies actually got extremely lucky with the window in the storm. As for the panzers running out of fuel, if you're talking about in N Africa. They were always low or out of fuel because the allies specifically GB tore the crap out of their supply ships in the Mediterranean. And Rommel did not use the "blitzkrieg" strategy. His tactics in N Africa were far better than that. The only thing that did stop him in N Africa was supply.
So Underrated Channel
Love the Dr Who clips referring to Marie Antoinette
In the case of Columbus, we may be mistaking a sales job with actual mistakes. If Columbus read Plato, he would have known that beyond Atlantis (what Plato called the Azores) was the opposite continent that surrounded what can be called the true ocean. If he was aware of the Icelandic Chronicles and read them, he would have known about Vinland and the adventures of Leif Erikson. Columbus was right in that Japan and the east Indies were to the west, just that there was North and South America in the way. Columbus might even have known that Portuguese fisherman were working the Grand Banks off the coast of Canada. But apparently he needed the dazzling civilizations of Japan, China, and the spices of Indonesia to sell his project to the Ferdi and Izzy.
Using odd footage from different tv shows and films and referencing them in your context. Not great. One of them is doctor who 🤷♀️😂
Christopher Columbus was not the ISIS of his day. He was a man of courage and vision who overcame many personal obstacles to achieve the discovery of the western hemisphere and open the doors to civilization and settlement.

The impact of the European colonization on Australian Indigenous people (which was hinted as being a disaster) is noticeably similar to the colonization of North America and the impact that had on native Americans. Remember that saying about glass houses and throwing stones.

Love your videos, Tokin up and just binge Grunge!
Bob Ebeling sounds startlingly similar to Hans Moleman.
Columbus was not the demon recent revisionists believe - or want to believe - him to have been.
How can you call someone "prolific"? Rommel was a good general, but "prolific" means nothing by itself.
The O-rings on the Challenger were only there because of politics: the boosters could have been made in single pieces without joins, but were instead made in halves in Utah, and could only be transported to Florida in halves - that was the biggest mistake. Flying it was dumb, and cowardly, and completely avoidable. (Apart from the fact that reality is messy, and people are cowards and idiots.)

@@RWBHere Well--the formal rank was "General Feld Marschall", so, really, BOTH, together, are correct.

I love the ridiculousness of talking about the D-day invasion and showing a clip from "Dunkirk", with 4 years separation between the two and the fact that the allied troops were going in opposite directions! - and then showing tanks in the North African desert too!

Regardless of Rommel being there or not, the allies would have secured the beach head sooner or later, sure he would have given allied troops hell if he was there at the right time, but allies were just superior in every other way especially in supplies and air superiority and Germany could not even replace even a fraction of the losses unlike the allies

HOW DARE THE BEST GENERAL IN HISTORY BE IN THIS VIDEOS THUMBNAIL!!
jacob D Exactly, and it wasn’t even his fault, it was Hitler’s. Hitler was asleep when D-Day occurred, and he also made it to where Rommel only had like two tank divisions in Normandy instead of the amount that Rommel himself wanted. This video makes my head hurt
Rommel was wounded by an RAF Spitfire when he was returning to Normandy.
Happy birthday to Rommel's wife!!!
I read an article about the exxon valdez disaster that claimed cost cutting measures were the real cause and the captain was just a scapegoat. While I can't vouch for the veracity of this, the article was quite convincing; it certainly isn't rare for corporate greed to lead to disaster & suffering.
Brochnick of course it starts with greed and the captain probably did take more crap for it than others did
