Annie Taylor: First Over Niagara Falls in a Barrel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- When you say the word “daredevil,” what image springs to mind? After you picture the Marvel guy in the red suit, we mean. It’s probably a man, maybe in his 30s, dressed in a dazzling, sparkly leather outfit, wearing a crash test helmet on his head and flashing a pair of gleaming, crazy eyes, howling like a madman as he charges into a death-defying stunt at a hundred miles per hour.
That’s a fair assessment, we would say. After all, a daredevil is a showman looking to garner as much attention as possible, because more eyeballs on his antics means more money and fame. But what if we told you that the daredevil we have in mind for today was none of those things? In fact, she was a quiet, matronly widow in her 60s named Annie Edson Taylor.
She might not have looked the part, but make no mistake about it. Taylor’s daredevil credentials are as solid as it gets, and many others have risked (and sacrificed) life and limb in order to replicate her infamous feat - going over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

@@mattyt1961 Fixed it. No idea what happened there. I copied directly from the main page.
1:40 - Chapter 1 - Early years
4:50 - Chapter 2 - The plan
9:00 - Chapter 3 - The jump
12:00 - Conclusion
This is actually tragic because to be honest with you, she sounds mentally ill (the constant lying, being convinced she'd make loads of money out of this, etc) yet she had nobody to look after her.
I like Karl & Eric. Rotating hosts keeps this channel fresh! ❤
That was one tough old lady! That's for sure! Suggestion: Charles XIV of sweden!
How many times did he go over the Falls?😂
Good suggestion for a video
Another new host, another breath of fresh air. Rotating hosts. This actually gets as good as it gets.
Keep the reins! Without the mumbling, I was able to understand every word spoken. Thank you.
Currently looking at the falls while listening to this one
Don't jump!
I like these shorter videos as an addition to the regular ones. This is a great way to cover interesting people who may not have enough information or celebrity to do 20 or 30 minutes.
As an aside, I do rescue in the lower Niagara river. You absolutely don’t want to try her stunt. You do not want to try to swim it. It’s far too common for things to go wrong when people venture too close to the water. Dangerous for the rescuers and almost certainly fatal for you
I really dig this host. Definitely no problems understanding his communication style. Simon, & Eric are the tops. I hope this guy comes back.
Thank you.
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Can y'all please do a video on Henry A. Wallace, George Westinghouse and Rutherford B. Hayes
That look cool video and new host of biographies also I glad other host gets some rest.
She was absolutely crazy to try that and the gamble did not pay off
Video Suggestion: Henry A. Wallace- America's Most Radical Vice President
Speaking of daredevils, do a bio on Evel Knievel
I hope that Carl is getting the r&r that he needs. PS I Love The cowboy Bebop reference.
New presenter pretty good. Please do Michael Collins Irish leader Irish war of Independence
I live by the Falls, you can still get a picture with the replica barrel. The has a little museum in her name too. Someone is still making money off her.
Great job Eric! Awesome host 🙏
can you do a video on Jules Verne?
i like this eric guy
and i need a Paul Mccartney video
Why? McCartney? You need a story about the most boring Beatle with the biggest ego and the most corny, sappy, estrogen loaded songs? Lennon and Harrison are the truth.
@@cactaceous Paul McCartney still had an interesting life and is the most successful musician who ever lived. Since this channel already did Lennon and Harrison, why not McCartney, too?
This is the most jarring biographics thumb nail I’ve ever seen
Broke my neck running to the comments
Your accent is music to ears.😊 Please be here on this channel permanently 🎉
Nice performance by the new host
Bro, totally miss your science channel.
AET FTW
A change in narrator is always welcomed to mix things up!😊😊😊❤❤❤
Strongly disagree
Yep I came here for simon... tolerate Karl because I like the content but this guy's voice is like nails on a chalk board for me
Not judging by all the whinging over the last few months from the emotional weaklings in the comments...
Please make more yourself! You're great
What do people think of these EMP shield devices, you can put on trucks and generators, etc? I've been thinking about investing in one 🤔
This is the wrong place to ask such a bizarre question! I've never even heard of such things and therefore they are unnecessary and foolish.
@MatthewTheWanderer lol, I thought I'd left this comment on the previous video I watched about solar flares. Haha 😄 if this is the barrel video, then yes, it makes no sense at all..
@@jeremydarkeag1e85 Yes, this is the "barrel" video, lol.
@MatthewTheWanderer lol 😄 thanks Matthew 🍻
@@jeremydarkeag1e85 You're welcome, lol
A suggestion: Nicolae Ceausescu, the former dictator of Romania
Wow sounds like a TikTok stunt of the 1900’s
where’s baldy
where is he
your hiding him from me
No matter how look brave an attempt it is, she was just an insane woman, who lost her sanity.
I like the story because it shows lying goes to the grave 😂😂😂 be honest everybody
Especially lying about basic facts of your own life, like what year you were born.
Fine video, but worst pronunciation of Lucretia I've ever heard.
Same 🤣
That was hilarious
I’m sorry, but this is unforgivable. You mention a cat, but do not pay the cat tax? Have you no decency?
Plus a cat that's sleeping, when they're at their most adorable.
Queen 🧢🤣🤣🤣
STILL. NOT. SIMOM!!
‘Balls’ of steel
Why doesn’t Simon do these? Will he ever again?
Seems like he is gone for good and these channels are really going downhill quickly.
@@cactaceous He is only gone from this channel, Geographics, and Top Tenz, due to behind the scenes disagreements with producers. They made a video a few months ago explaining all of this.
Blocking all these channels that ket Simon go.
They didn't fire Simon or "let him go", he quit them.
BRING BACK SIMON
He left. May not want to come back
Simon quit this channel and is never coming back.
Radu is cool but i really enjoy Karl. Smallwood and all.
THANK YOU for changing the narrator!!!!!
I was on the verge of unsubscribing if you hadn't!!!
Bring back Karl
I think they share the presenting.
man all the presenters have bad pronunciation
I'm convinced he mispronounces things on purpose.
Karl is better.
Simon creates a channel, builds it up... Then leaves. Very sad.
Simon didn't create or own any of these channels, he just narrated for them.
@@feldspar7740 True, but like I mean he makes it a thing, makes it visible... Brings in the views... Then leaves.
Oof. Was still expecting Simon and displeased when I discovered it wasn't Karl either.
Karl is still here. We plan to share some of the hosting duties. Simon's not coming back.
@@BiographicsI thought you did a wonderful job, Eric. Thank you ❤
@@BiographicsSimon is not coming back, ever? Yikes.
@@cactaceous Never. It was his idea to leave this channel. They made a video explaining this! Why are there still people who "expect" Simon to return? He still has over a dozen other channels!
Finally watchable again, keep Smallwood on a prolonged vacation. His videos watched would double without his radical leftist propaganda.
Cope
@@feldspar7740 easily. Don't watch Smallwood
Aw. Someone's triggered.
You know you can find radical right wing propaganda somewhere else? Right? Go on. Stop moping and whining.
I find Karl to be quite annoying and also hope this new guy replaces him completely. However, I have NEVER heard him say anything even approaching "leftist propaganda", which makes no sense whatsoever.
Why doesn't your hair colour match your beard colour?....I put it to you sir that you have been dabbling with dye....verdict....GUILTY
Because some people start turning gray on their beards before their heads, that does not mean any dyes were used! You can dye a beard as easily as your head, anyway.
@@MatthewTheWanderer well I see we have another possible hair dyer by the sounds of it putting up a rather desperate defence of a fellow dyer....VERDICT....GUILTY AS CHARGED...take him down.
@@johncraig2684 Wrong, lol. I have never dyed my hair or beard even once.
