• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that story. But before I get into today's stories, if

• 0:30
  Speaker 1: my weekly uploads. All right, let's get into today's stories.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Soon after the Beatles dissolved in nineteen sixty nine, one
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: of the four members, John Lennon, left his native England
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and moved to.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: New York City.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, took up residence in
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the Dakota, which is a very famous building that typically
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: houses the rich and famous people of New York. As
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: soon as Lenin moved to New York, he said that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: he felt relieved because he didn't have to worry about
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: going outside and getting mobbed by a massive crowd of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: people that were obsessed with the Beatles. There were people
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that were huge Beatles fans in New York, but they
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: seemed more respectful and they would ask for his autograph,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: but they would mostly leave him alone. Mark David Chapman
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: had always been a massive fan of the Beatles, with
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a particular interest in John Lennon, But after a nineteen
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: sixty six interview where John Lennon kind of off the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: cup said that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: this soured Chapman's adoration of Lenin. One of Chapman's high
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: school friends recalls around this timeframe Chapman rewriting the song
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Imagined by John Lennon to read Imagine if John Lennon
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: was dead. Chapman started referring to Lenin as a poser
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and said that he espoused virtues and ideals that he
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: himself did not practice. And so, in relative short order
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: following that nineteen sixty six interview, Chapman went from this
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: adoring fan of the Beatles in John Lennon to really
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: solely hating John Lennon and everything he stood for. By
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty, it's safe to say Mark Chapman had become
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: obsessed with John Lennon. Specifically, he had become obsessed with
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: hating John Lennon. In October of nineteen eighty, Chapman quits
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: his job as a security guard and flies to New
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: York City. For two months, he stayed in the city
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and didn't really do much of anything. He would just
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: periodically walk past the Dakota where John Lennon supposedly was living,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: but beyond that, he really didn't do anything in the city.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: But that would all change on December eighth, nineteen eighty.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: On that day, Chapman went to the Dakota and he
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: stood right outside the entrance to this building and just
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: waited and hopes that he might run into John Lennon.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: At five pm that day, John Lennon comes out with
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: his wife, Yoko Ono, and they walk right past Mark Chapman,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: who flags them down and he asks John if he
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: can have his autograph. And John Lennon, even though he
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: has a limousine waiting for him, and there's people that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: are starting to notice that, oh that's John Lennon.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: People are coming over.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: John still took the time to sign an autograph for
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Mark Chapman. He was very friendly with Mark and asked
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: him if this is enough, do you want anything else?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And Mark said no, that's it, that's fine, and John
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Lennon said okay, take care, and John and his wife,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Yoko Ono, turned and went into the limousine and they
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: drove away. When the couple got back to the Dakota
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that night, Mark Chapman had not left. John Lennon and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Yoko Ono get out of their vehicle and they walked
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: past Mark Chapman, who's standing right outside the front door.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It's unclear if Mark and John had any interaction, but
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: as soon as they passed Mark and were making their
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: way into the building, Mark Chapman drew a gun and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: shot John Lennon four times in the back, and John
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Lennon staggers into the lobby's screaming I'm shot, I'm shot,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: before collapsing and dying, and Mark Chapman he knew what
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: he was doing. He just stood there, put the gun
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: back in his pocket and just waited to be arrested.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Chapman's lawyers wanted him to plead insanity, but he refused
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and instead said I was totally saying I.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Knew what I was doing.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I chose to shoot John Lennon and I plead guilty,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and he was given twenty years to life in jail.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And while he was in jail, he would admit that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the only reason he did that was to become famous.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: That was it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: This is the picture of Mark Chapman getting that autograph
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: from John Lennon in front of the Dakota, just hours before.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: He would gun him down.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: He's still in jail today, and he actually just had
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: his eleventh parole hearing last month in August of twenty
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: twenty and it was denied. On July seventeenth, twenty fourteen,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: people at Amsterdam's bustling International Airport began boarding Malaysian Airlines
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: flight MAGE seventeen that was bound for Kuala Lumpur. The
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty three passengers on board were from
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: all over the world. Some were traveling for vacation, some
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: were going home, others were just.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Traveling for business.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: In addition to the two hundred and eighty three passengers,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: there were also fifteen crew members that rounded out the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: flight to a total of two hundred and ninety eight
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: people on board MGE seventeen. One of the passengers before
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: walking down the runway to get on the flight, took
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a picture of the plane itself and uploaded it to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: facebo book and kind of jokingly captioned it, if we
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: go missing, this is what it looks like, in reference
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to another Malaysian Airlines flight, Flight three seventy that had
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: actually gone missing just a couple of months earlier. Once
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the boarding was complete on mh seventeen, one of the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: passengers on board uploaded to Instagram a short video of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: passengers stuffing their luggage into bins and the captain coming
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: over the intercom saying that you know, boarding is complete
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and it's time to turn off your cell phones as
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we prepare for takeoff. A fifteen year old Dutch boy
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: named Gary Slock and his mother Petra had just sat
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: down inside the plane and they could barely contain their excitement.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: The pair had signed up for what they were calling
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a vacation of a lifetime with a group that took
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: single parents and their children on these lavish vacations. Gary,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: who was the goalkeeper for a soccer team, had been
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: telling his family how jealous his teammates were of this
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: trip he was about to go on with his mother.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Before Gary turned off his phone as instructed by the captain.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: He took a selfie of he and his mom grinning
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: ear to ear, excited about their trip, and he uploaded
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: it to Facebook for his friends and family to see.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Gary turns off his cell phone, puts it away, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: he and his mom sit back and get ready for takeoff.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: The plane takes off without a hitch. It gets up
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to cruising altitude and you know it's going to be
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a long flight. It's about twelve hours from Amsterdam to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Kuala Lumpur, and so everybody on board is kind of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: settling in. They're getting their iPads out, they're getting a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: book out. Maybe the crew is making their rounds, offering
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: snacks and drinks, and you.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Know, people are looking out the window.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It's a beautiful day and everyone's just kind of settling
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: in for a long flight. About three hours after takeoff,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: around four pm, the captain of MH seventeen got in
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: touch with air traffic control at the nearby airport, which
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: was in Ukraine. The pilot told controllers that everything was fine.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: He was flight level thirty three thousand feet. The controllers
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: acknowledged that and said, hey, there's a little bit of
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: air traffic in the direction you're going, you need to reroute.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Your course very slightly.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: The pilot acknowledged this changing course and was beginning to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: tell them what he was going to do next when
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: he cut out the controllers on the ground and began
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: hailing MH seventeen to try to get the captain back online.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: They couldn't reach him.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: The plane had sent no distress signals, and over the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: course of their communication, the controllers had not noticed anything abnormal,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and so this sudden radio silence really didn't make any sense.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yelena Britchenko was a twenty year old bank teller living
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: in Ukraine who happened to be looking up right as
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: MH seventeen was flying overhead. She would later say that
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: what she saw would haunt her for the rest of
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: her life.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: As she was watching MH seventeen.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Just explodes and the people inside of the plane very
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: clearly get ejected out of the plane, and she's watching
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: as these people and bits of plane are falling from
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: thirty three thousand feet and they come crashing down in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: this huge, fiery inferno. The theory, backed by US intelligence,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: was that pro Russian separatists could have fired a missile
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: at this plane, thinking it was Ukrainian military.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: It was not, It was just civilians.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: All two hundred and ninety eight people on board MH seventeen.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Perished, including Gary in Petra.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: This is the selfie that Gary took moments before takeoff
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: with his mother as they were excited about their vacation.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Family and friends that saw this picture on Facebook would
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: say that this image perfectly captures Gary's wonderful personality and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the love that Gary and Petra had for each other.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: From the outside, Bart Whittaker appeared to love his family.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: He and his younger brother Kevin, were extremely close, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Bart and his father shared a passion for long distance
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: cycling and would often go out and bike around the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: neighborhood together. Bart's family would regularly go on vacation to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: places like Cancun, and the pictures of Bart with his
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: family on these vacations are always him beaming with happiness
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and love for his family. On December tenth, two thousand
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and three, Bart, who was twenty three almost twenty four
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: years old at the time, made a special announcement to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: his family. He told his family that he had just
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: finished taking his final exams of his senior year at
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: nearby Sam Houston State College and that he was going
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to grab graduate. Bart was not a natural student, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: frankly struggled in college, and so this was a really
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: big announcement and the family was really excited for him,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: especially his parents, and so they said, we have to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: go out and celebrate, and so they went out to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a restaurant. They're having this really expensive, lavish dinner. And
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: in fact, his parents had bought a really nice Rolex
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: watch to give to Bart if he were to graduate college,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and so here he is announcing it, and they thought,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you know what, now's a good time to give it
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to him.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: They give him his Rolex and.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: They're asking people at nearby tables to take their pictures,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and everybody just seems so happy, and the parents are
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: so proud of Bart. After they finished dinner, they're all smiles.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: They pile back in the family car and they start
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: making their drive back to sugar Land, Texas, where the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Whittaker residence was. It was inside of this upper class
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: suburb about forty minutes away from Houston, Texas. On the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: drive home, his parents are endlessly talking about how proud
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: they are of Bart and how excited they are for
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: his future.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: They get back to their house.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: They pull in the driveway and Bart's brother and parents
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: make their way up to the front door.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Bart is behind them and he.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Says, hey, I forgot something in the car. He turns
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: around and goes back to the car as his brother
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and his parents walk into the house and are immediately
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: gunned down by an assassin waiting inside of the Whittaker residence.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Bart hears the shooting and runs back inside the house
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: he sees his family is down. He ends up wrestling
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: with the shooter, who ends up shooting him, but hits
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: him in the arm before escaping the house. A neighbor
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: hears the shooting and runs outside and sees this chaotic scene.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: They call nine to one one police show up and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Bart's brother, Kevin, has passed away, as well as his mother.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: They both died unscene.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: As for Bart and Bart's father, they would go to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the hospital and they would both make a full recovery.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: So this huge investigation is launched to figure out who
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: this assassin was and why he was attacking the Whittaker family,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and quickly they discovered that Bart Whittaker had hired him.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Bart Whittaker wanted his family killed so he could take
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: their money, and he had had the assassin shoot him
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in the arm to make it look like you know,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: this was not his fault and he wasn't involved. Here's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a picture from the night they were out celebrating Bart's
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: big accomplishment that he had finished his final exams. Except
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Bart was a total liar and he had stopped going
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to classes ages ago. He was failing every class and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: was not even close to graduating. In this picture, Bart
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: knows that the assassin he hired is currently sitting in
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: their house waiting for them to return when he is
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: going to open fire and kill Bart's family. The people
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: in this picture with him are going to be murdered
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: literally hours later, and he knows it. Bart was convicted
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven for hiring the hit man
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and was given the death penalty, but forty minutes before
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: his execution, the governor of Texas commuted his sentence to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a life sentence because, oddly enough, Bart's own father, one
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: of the people he tried to have killed, had forgiven
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: him and did not want to see his last remaining
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: family member be executed.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: So that's going to do it.
• 11:53
