The Doomed Malaysia Flights of MH370 & MH17 | What Happened? Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

At a little after midnight on the 8th of March 2014 passengers of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 were called to prepare for boarding. By 12.38am all 227 passengers and 12 crew members were on board and ready to make their journey from Kuala Lumpur Airport to Beijing. Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah was given clearance from air traffic control to prepare for takeoff. The Boeing 777 shot down the runway, reaching a speed of 180 mph before taking off at 12.42am. The 227 passengers came from 14 different countries and included five children. Malaysia Air Traffic Control was in charge of tracking the plane until it passed into Vietnamese Airspace. MH370 climbed steadily to 35,000 feet and moved northwards over the South China Sea towards Vietnam. It could be seen as a small blip on the screen as Lumpur radar radioed the captain at 01.19, “Malaysian 70, contact Ho Chi Minh, 120 decimal 9”. To which Captain Shah replied, “Goodnight Malaysian 370”. The blip continued to travel across the radar screen until it reached the outer edge and disappeared from view...

The Most Terrifying Prisons on the Planet... Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

Pandemic time prisons are even more dangerous than being in the general population. Inmates are unable to social distance. The prisons are unwilling to buy hand gels and soaps because of the cost. Guards and staff go in and out regularly and inmates and those incarcerated are released regularly. This makes anyone within the system particularly vulnerable right now. Many thousands of prisoners have become sick during the pandemic, and many have died. Prisons are packed with some of the most sadistic and violent men and women in the world. If you do commit a crime and are found guilty pray that you are not sent to one of these five most terrifying prisons on the planet.

Incredibly Smart People Who Believe in Extra-terrestrial Life... Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

The matter of extra-terrestrial life is not really a matter of belief, instead its a matter of analysis of the available evidence and probability. For instance, there are at least four independent lines of evidence suggesting there has been, or maybe even still is life on Mars. Though not conclusive, it is certainly indicative. And that's just on Mars. Beyond our own solar system there are at least 250 billion other suns, many with planetary systems. Here are 3 intelligent people who believe there is at least a chance of life outside of our planet.

The Most Terrifying Nuclear Accidents Throughout History May 31, 2021

Show notes

On Saturday April 26th 1986, the world was given a glimpse of just what Humanity’s flirtation with the atom could lead to when the no.4 reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant melted down. It remains the largest nuclear disaster in history being rated at a 7 – the highest number on the International Nuclear Event Scale or INES. Such was the shock and the horror of Chernobyl that perhaps with the exception of the Fukushima accident in 2011, the disaster in 1986 has largely overshadowed the many other nuclear accidents that have occurred in the seventy plus years mankind has harnessed the atom to expand his dominion over this planet. Here, we are going to look at just five incidents that have had political, scientific, military and life-affecting consequences.
