THE MAX HEADROOM INCIDENT. November 22nd, 1987 was a pretty normal evening for television viewers in Chicago. That night, like every night, Dan Roan was covering sports on WGN-TV, Channel 9. Then suddenly, the signal was disrupted and screens across the city cut to black. Engineers at WGN-TV thought their transmitters were failing. They weren't. A few seconds later, something crazy happened. WGN's broadcast signal had been hijacked in what is now known as "The Max Headroom Incident". WGN-TV was able to act quickly and get their signal back. But, Two hours later, it would happen again to another TV station and there was nothing they could do to stop it. What happens next remains one of the most bizarre unsolved crimes in television history. Let's find out why. ---- Tinfoil hat stories: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO7TqgO2kSwsg6GYPJHEjJm9 Weird Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO7mptVmIwFDM78AU-NzxLyM Science Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO4mMg-X8wVW5yBfKW6LBbLa ---- SUPPORT THE WHY FILES https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles ---- OFFICIAL https://thewhyfiles.com ---- SOCIAL Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhyFiles/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thewhyfiles Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Twitter: https://twitter.com/OMGTheWhyFiles TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewhyfiles Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Discord: https://discord.gg/jKEKzHDUgf ---- CHECK OUT HECKLEFISH'S CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj9k-wwqNm_rNKJQ2nuAP5w ---- CONTENTS 00:00 - The Max Headroom Incident 00:30 - First Intrusion on WGN 01:09 - WGN Regains Control 02:22 - PBS Channel 11 Intrusion 04:34 - Who Was Max Headroom? 07:15 - Breakdown of the Video 09:55 - How The Signal Was Hacked 12:18 - Captain Midnight Hacks HBO 14:02 - Who Was the Hacker? 15:14 - Thanks For Watching! #unsolved #mysteries #television #max headroom #max headroom incident #max headroom wgn #max headroom incident wgn #max headroom coke #tales from the internet #reddit #reddit max headroom #broadcast interruptions #broadcast interruptions in history #max headroom broadcast #max headroom broadcast signal intrusion #max #headroom #max headroom hack #max headroom incident solved #max headroom solved #unsolved #mystery #unsolved mysteries #phreaking #broadcast intrusions #piracy #chicago #tv #wttw max headroom,max headroom incident,max headroom wgn,max headroom incident wgn,max headroom coke,tales from the internet,reddit,reddit max headroom,broadcast interruptions,broadcast interruptions in history,max headroom broadcast,max headroom broadcast signal intrusion,max,headroom,max headroom hack,max headroom incident solved,max headroom solved,unsolved,mystery,unsolved mysteries,phreaking,broadcast intrusions,piracy,chicago,tv,wttw

NOSTRADAMUS. 2022 Predictions: Earthquakes, Asteroids & Zombies? If you believe the predictions of Nostradamus and you enjoyed 2020, you're gonna *love* 2021. While many astrologers, seers and mystics are predicting a hopeful future. If you believe Nostradamus, you better start kissing your mommies and saying your goodbyes. He predicted that 2020 would be a "great trouble for humanity". Well, that was true. And he says a greater trouble is coming in the form of a global famine. According to Nostradamus, the famine will be the worst the world has ever faced and will ultimately end in a disruption of social hierarchies and state power. Nostradamus predicted solar storms will take place. He said: "We shall see the water rising and the earth falling under it". Then he predicts a comet or asteroid will hit the earth or come very close to striking the planet which will cause earthquakes and other natural disasters: "In the sky, one sees fire and a long trail of sparks." FYI, we did have a few close calls with asteroids this past year. And NASA's automated asteroid watching system -- called Sentry -- is currently tracking asteroid 2009 JF1. JF1 is around 130 meters in diameter. About the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. This could hit Earth in 2022. Nostradamus predicted a great calamity would shake through the New World in the "Lands of the West" causing it to fall into the ocean. This is thought to be California. He suggested that this great calamity will happen when "Mercury in Sagittarius, Saturn fading". The date when Mars and Saturn will be in those exact positions in the sky is Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 2021. And the last prediction is a doozie. Two words: Zombie Apocalypse. ---- CONTENTS 00:00 - 2020 was bad. 2021 is worse 00:26 - Nostradamus predicts bad things 03:57 - Historical predictions 06:37 - 20th century predictions 08:47 - Modern predictions 11:01 - Legend of Nostradamus 12:56 - Facts of Nostradamus 15:13 - Interpretation challenges 18:35 - Why we seek out prophecies 20:03 - Thanks for watching! ---- Tinfoil hat stories: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO7TqgO2kSwsg6GYPJHEjJm9 Weird Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO7mptVmIwFDM78AU-NzxLyM Spies, secrets and espionage: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO42YlS1vvJHD6UB_UBlkgSQ Science Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO4mMg-X8wVW5yBfKW6LBbLa ---- SUPPORT THE WHY FILES https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles ---- OFFICIAL https://thewhyfiles.com ---- SOCIAL Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhyFiles/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thewhyfiles Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Twitter: https://twitter.com/OMGTheWhyFiles TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewhyfiles Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Discord: https://discord.gg/jKEKzHDUgf ---- CHECK OUT HECKLEFISH'S CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj9k-wwqNm_rNKJQ2nuAP5w ---- FURTHER READING https://medium.com/dataseries/zer0-days-how-stuxnet-disrupted-the-iran-nuclear-program-and-transformed-computer-security-9b9587199f06 https://www.turn-keytechnologies.com/blog/article/from-stuxnet-to-industroyer-the-biggest-hacks-in-the-history-of-the-industrial-iot/ https://spectrum.ieee.org/telecom/security/the-real-story-of-stuxnet #nostradamus #predictions #2021 #nostradamus predictions #nostradamus ki bhavishyavani #nostradamus 2021 #nostradamus prediction 2021 #nostradamus effect #nostradamus predictions 2021 #nostradamus decoded #nostradamus videos #nostradamus effect clips #nostradamus effect full episodes #nostradamus video #nostradamus davinci #nostradamus prophecy #nostradamus (author) #nostradamus biography #nostradamus video clips #history #bio #biography #nostradamus #prophet #future #doom #prophet of doom #documentary #biographies #predicting the future #nostradamus biography #nostradamus bio clips #nostradamus bio #magic #prophetic visions #zombies #cdc nostradamus,nostradamus predictions,nostradamus ki bhavishyavani,nostradamus 2021,nostradamus prediction 2021,nostradamus effect,nostradamus predictions 2021,nostradamus decoded,nostradamus videos,nostradamus effect clips,nostradamus effect full episodes,nostradamus video,nostradamus davinci,nostradamus prophecy,nostradamus (author),nostradamus biography,nostradamus video clips,history,bio,biography,nostradamus,prophet,future,doom,prophet of doom,documentary,biographies,predicting the future,nostradamus biography,nostradamus bio clips,nostradamus bio,magic,prophetic visions,zombie,cdc

STUXNET. The virus that prevented; then started the next world war. Cyberwar is being waged right now in your name. No matter what country you call home, your government is engaged in highly dangerous combat on the Internet. Infrastructure around the world is under siege and everyone is at risk. Even you. In 2010, the Stuxnet virus was discovered in Natanz, Iran and thousands of control systems that operate factories, power plants and nuclear reactors around the world. It was 20 times more sophisticated than any malware ever recorded. It could halt oil pipelines, destroy water treatment plants and bring down entire power grids. Stuxnet is back, stronger than ever. And we should *all* be concerned. Cyber-security experts knew Stuxnet wasn't ordinary malware thrown together by some basement hacker. This was something different.

Most of us have heard of the Bermuda Triangle, where planes and ships have mysteriously gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean for decades. Did you know there is a similar place in Nevada? The Nevada Triangle. In a region of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Nevada and California, 2,000 planes have been lost in the last 60 years. In this remotely populated area of more than 25,000 miles of mountain desert, many of the crash sites have never been found. The Nevada Triangle is typically defined as spanning from Las Vegas, Nevada in the southeast to Fresno, California in the west, and to Reno, Nevada at the top. Within this wilderness is the mysterious, top-secret Area 51. Along with the dozens of conspiracy theories which include UFOs and paranormal activity that surrounds the air force base, similar theories have long been considered regarding the Nevada Triangle. One plane to go missing was that of a record-setting aviator, sailor, and adventurer named Steve Fossett on September 3, 2007. Fossett, flying a single-engine plane over Nevada's Great Basin Desert, took off and never returned. After hunting for a month for the plane, the search was called off and on February 15, 2008, Fossett was declared dead. Later that year on September 29th, Fossett's identification cards were discovered in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California by a hiker. Throughout the years, many of the missing planes were flown by experienced pilots and have disappeared under mysterious circumstances: and their wreckage never found. The biggest mystery is: nobody really talks about it. Let's find out why. ---- More Tinfoil stories: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO7TqgO2kSwsg6GYPJHEjJm9 Weird Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO7mptVmIwFDM78AU-NzxLyM Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO4mMg-X8wVW5yBfKW6LBbLa ---- SUPPORT THE WHY FILES https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles ---- OFFICIAL https://thewhyfiles.com ---- SOCIAL Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhyFiles/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thewhyfiles Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Twitter: https://twitter.com/OMGTheWhyFiles TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewhyfiles Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Discord: https://discord.gg/jKEKzHDUgf ---- CONTENT DISCLAIMER Copyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

Crazy Coincidences 02 #shorts These things happened. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Founding fathers. At first friends, then bitter rivals, then friends again. They both died a few hours apart in 1826. On the fourth of July. The 50th anniversary of American independence. Violet Jessop was nicknamed miss unsinkable. She worked on the Titanic which sunk in 1912, she worked on the Brittanic which sunk in 1916 and she worked on the Olympic, which crashed. All three ships were from the White Star Line. The Civil War broke out in 1861 on a farm owned by Wilmer McLean. After the battle, McLean moved his family away for safety. Four years later, Robert E Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox Courthouse. The generals then signed the documents in the parlor of the closest house, owned by the same Wilmer Mclean.

Here's a philosophical question for you. If a color doesn't have a name, can we still see it? Many years ago, the human eye evolved to give us the ability to see about a million colors. That's a lot. Then how come, until very recently, nobody saw or even heard of the color blue? Well, it's because blue just -- didn't exist yet.

The odds of getting hit by a meteor are one in a trillion. When a meteor crashed into a home in Paris in 2011, the press rushed over to check on them. They were fine. Their name... was commette. World War 1 broke out after Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in his car. The license plate was A-11-11-18. World War 1 started on November 11, 1918. In 1975, a 17-year old boy was killed riding a moped. Exactly 1 year after his 17-year old brother was killed on the same moped. They were killed at the same intersection, hit by the same taxi driven by the same driver, carrying the same passenger.

WE'RE DUE FOR ANOTHER CARRINGTON EVENT On September 1, 1859, astronomer Richard Carrington was observing a huge sunspot. Suddenly, a flash of intense white light burst from the sun's surface. He had become the first eye-witness of a major Coronal Mass Ejection or CME. And it was headed straight for earth. Seventeen hours later, the night sky in North America lit up like the day. Aurora Borealis, typically only seen near the north pole, were visible as far south as Colombia. In the southern hemisphere, Aurora Australis were visible North of Brisbane. A few hours later, on September 2, the most powerful solar storm ever recorded crashed into the Earth's atmosphere. Our magnetic field was immediately overpowered and created chaos around the world. Nobody had ever seen anything like this before. This became known as the Carrington Event. At the time, scientists thought this was a unique phenomenon. It wasn't. It's happened before, it's happened since and it will happen again. And when it does, it could be the worst natural disaster in human history.

OK, dinosaur fans. Experts have just uncovered the remains of a gigantic dinosaur in Argentina, and believe it could be one of the largest creatures to have ever walked the Earth. The Mezozoic era was about 252 million to 66 million years ago. This was the time of the really big dinosaur. But few measure up to what are called TITANOSAURS. Titanosaurs belonged to a group of sauropod dinosaurs which are defined by their long neck and tail, four-legs. Early in their evolution, they were about the size of dogs and omnivorous. But eventually they became herbivores and unbelievably... HUGE. Now a team of South American paleontologists have unearthed the fossilized remains of a massive 98 million-year-old titanosaur in northwest Patagonia in Argentina. This might be the largest dinosaur specimen ever found. Headed up by researchers from several museums and universities (link below), the fossils were extracted from dense sedimentary deposits known as the Candeleros Formation. The fossils excavated are believed to belong to be larger than that of all previously discovered mega-relatives like Patago-titan. The Patagotitan was found in the desert near La Flecha in 2008. It lived about 100 million years ago and measured up to 37 meters (122 feet) long. Another titanosaur, found in southwestern Argentina in 1987 was officially titled Argentinosaurus. That one grew up to 40 meters (131 feet) long and weighed more than 110 tons. That's about the weight of an adult blue whale and bigger than a 10-story building. Titanosaur remains are not unique to South America. Bones have been found on every continent except Antarctica. But this latest finding could be a world record breaker. In order to determine a more precise measurement of this titanosaur's size, scientists still have to dig its evolutionary history. But preliminary data shows that it's most likely larger than Patagotitan Majorum and will probably break the record as the biggest animal EVER to walk the Earth. ---- More Tinfoil stories: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO7TqgO2kSwsg6GYPJHEjJm9 Weird Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO7mptVmIwFDM78AU-NzxLyM Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO4mMg-X8wVW5yBfKW6LBbLa ---- SOCIAL https://www.instagram.com/OMGTheWhyFiles https://twitter.com/OMGTheWhyFiles https://www.facebook.com/OMGTheWhyFiles https://thewhyfiles.com/discord ---- CONTACT business@thewhyfiles.com #Science #Argentina #Dinosaur #fossils #titanosaur #largest dinosaur #dinosaur skeleton #herbivore #plant eating dinosaurs #biggest dinosaur fossil #south america #paleontologist #patagotitan #patagotitan majorum #biggest dinosaur in the world #Weird #Comedy #Amazing #Facts #Bizarre #Funny #Brain #Mysterious #Learning #Discovery #Brainy
