  Speaker 1: again to Dragon City for sponsoring this video and let's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: get back to it. So first up, we have the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: KNBC TV hostage TV moment. So one evening on the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: KNBC Channel 4 news station, something horrible unfolded that shocked
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: viewers and those in the studio alike. On August 19th, 1987,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: it was a normal day in the studio on the news.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't until 4 p.m. that day when a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: man would walk into the studio, under the guise of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a guest and walk up to one of the live
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: television reporters and put a gun to his back. And
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that man was named Gary Stolman. And the reporter was
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: David Horowitz. So for some background on Gary Stolman, he
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: was the son of a former employee named Max Stolman,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: who had talked about his son's mental health struggles and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: how he frequently got in and out of mental hospitals
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: due to his delusions, if you will.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Max Stolman said, I do have a sick son.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: He has been hospitalized a number of times.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Therefore, he had used his connection with his father to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: get himself on live television that night. So as David,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the reporter, was reporting the news, as you do, he
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: would hear Gary's footsteps behind him and naturally would kind
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of look behind him to see what was going on
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: because he was live on television at the moment. And
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: when he looked down, he would see a gun pressed
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: up against his back.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Things about shopping by mail order. Pardon me?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And it is kind of crazy how calm David was
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: during this whole interaction. And as soon as he saw
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the gun, Gary would hand him a piece of paper
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to read on live television.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: What is this? Let me see what it says. All right.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: All right, well, let me read this. Folks, we have
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: someone on the set who's standing here and would like
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: me to read... to read this copy which was just
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: handed to me.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And during this whole altercation, David would be talking to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the audience saying, oh, this man has a piece of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: paper and he wants me to read it to everybody,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: kind of letting the news station know what's going on.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously everybody's freaking out behind the cameras, but
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: David was just trying to get everybody to remain calm.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: So David began to talk to the man, just asking
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: where he's from and who he is, just trying to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: get to know him a little better to calm down
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the situation.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Do you want to tell me your name or not?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And after around 28 grueling seconds, everyone watching scared and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: terrified at home saw their TVs turn to black. So
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the live feed had cut out at this point. But
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: David and Gary did not know this at the time.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And this was good because Gary had a gun to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: his back and he still needed his message. read out
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to the world. So David would comply, you know, because
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: he had a gun to his back, and he would
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: read the note aloud. And the note read as such.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I was warned in 1981 by someone with connections at
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: the CIA to stay off the computers that they didn't
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: trust people on computers. When I began receiving disturbing calls
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: from my parents, which led me to believe that something
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: terrible was going on, I was then forced into a
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: mental hospital in Tallahassee, where I learned that my brother-in-law
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: had been driven insane in the same manner that someone
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: was trying to do to me.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Just gibberish, essentially. Nothing that would have, you know, done
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: anything to audiences. But, like, thankfully, the news network had
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: cut the feed, so he was literally just reading it
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to the people in the studio at this point. But again,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Gary didn't know. So after David finished reading the paper
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that Gary gave him, Gary would put his gun down
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: on the desk very calmly, and then the other reporter,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: John Beard- took the gun away and Gary was pulled
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: off the stage and tackled to the ground. And Gary
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: would later tell the police that he never meant to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: harm anyone and the pistol that he was holding against
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: David's back was actually just an unloaded BB gun. And
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: those grueling seconds on the air had everyone tensed at home.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: But the unreleased footage that is actually lost media apparently
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: went on for seven minutes. So we actually only heard
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: a part of the note and the rest of the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: note is supposedly just rambling manifesto talking about how he
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: believed a clone from the CIA and aliens had replaced
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: his father. So he was clearly very unwell. And David,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the reporter, would later talk about the whole situation.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I've covered enough hostage situations that I've been in Vietnam,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: and I know that when someone points a gun at you,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: You do what they tell you to do and hope
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: that someone's going to save you. And you just try
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: to maintain as much cool as you possibly can because
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I realize that if you do anything out of course,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: as far as this person's concerned, I don't know whether
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: the guy was a terrorist or a wacko or somebody
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: that was trying to get even for something. You don't
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: know who's there.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what I would do in that situation.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think for me, I like there's fight
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: or flight, but I am like... freeze and flail that's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: what I do I I would just completely freeze I'd
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: probably just comply as well because what are you gonna
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: do in that moment like even like trying to get
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it I mean I know it wasn't a real gun
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: but I'd be too scared that they would like knock
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: off a shot there I don't know you just never
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: know what you're gonna do in those situations but thank
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: god for David the reporter because he kept his freaking
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: cool but so how did Gary end up getting in
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the studio well a female news anchor, Christy Wilde, said
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the responsibility may have fallen on her, explaining that she
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: had actually had a phone call with Gary asking to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: get into the studio, stating he was Max Stolman's son.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: He called me to get in. You can't just walk
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: in here. He called me and said that he was
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Max Stolman's son and he lived in the East and...
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that he had never had the opportunity to see his
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: dad while he was on our air, and could he
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: come down and watch the show. So obviously she didn't
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: know any better, and after this realization, they realized the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: danger of the gunman walking into the news station to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: force reporters to share her. his message.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: He had a pass. I noticed the pass on his
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: chest and nobody noticed anything out of the ordinary until
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: David is on. He's standing behind David. And at first
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: we thought it was just someone who was mixed up, confused,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: didn't realize he was in the way.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So the security was then corrected to make sure that
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: this incident would never happen again. And the decision to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: cut the cameras to ensure those who have malicious intentions
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: couldn't share their viewpoints and messages on air and disturb
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the peace was very, very quick thinking. So Gary Stolman
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: would be charged after this, obviously, but then would be
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: later dismissed of the two charges and instead put in
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: two years of probation and he would then be sent
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to an undisclosed mental facility where he supposedly still is
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to this day. But that is it for the KNBC
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: live TV moment and we move on to Tommy Cooper.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: So Tommy Cooper was a renowned comedian and magician and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: he would get his debut and start of his career
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: after showing up on the BBC show New to You
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: in March 1948.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: And I went into a chemist, see, and I said
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: to the man behind the counter, he was right there behind,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: I couldn't see him, I said, excuse me, I said,
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: have you got anything for hiccups? I said, excuse me!
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: That was a bit harsh.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: I said, have you got anything for hiccups?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I said, have you got anything for hiccups?
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: And he jumped up and he hit me right across
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: the face with a clock. I said, what did he
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: do that for?
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: He said, oh, you haven't got hiccups now, have you?
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I said, I've never had them, it was from my
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: wife out in the car.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: And he was best known for his mix of magic
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and comedy. Two of my favorite things. Usually doing tricks
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that look like they had failed, but were revealed, in fact,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: they had not.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Oh!
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And this would bring him countless success and frequent bookings
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: with a successful career of over 40 years of entertainment. However,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: in a biography of Fisher, people agreed he was not
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a very kind man, despite his very happy, comedic demeanor.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: He was known to be quite tight in the show business.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: In one story, it states that instead of paying a
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: taxi fare, he slipped a tea bag into the driver's pocket,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: telling him to have a drink on me. Which is
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: pretty funny to me. I mean, listen, I'm going to
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: steal that joke, but I will not use it as
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a substitution for money. I'll pay the person, but then also...
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: give him a tea bag and say, have a drink
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: on me because that's funny. That's funny. And I also
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: won't put it in their pocket because that's a little weird,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: but it's not, that's not cool. All right. That's not
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: cool to do. But anyway, in the 1970s, he would
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: fall into an addiction to alcohol that would further erode
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: his character, becoming less professional and even club owners stating
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that he would stiff them, meaning he would either rush
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: his performance or show up late. And after suffering from
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: multiple issues such as lumbago and bronchitis and even bad
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: circulation in his legs, he put down the bottle a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: little bit. However, he still was heavily smoking cigars and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: reportedly 40 a day. 40 cigars a day? And this
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: was obviously a serious pain on his health and would
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: lead to his undoing. So on April 15th, 1984, Cooper
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: would book a show at Her Majesty's there in Westminster,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: London to be exact. And it would be live on
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: weekend television for the show, live from Her Majesty's. And
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: before the act began, he asked his assistant to put
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: on his cloak. And while buttoning the coat, he began
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to stumble and eventually fell completely. And the audience started
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to abrupt in laughter, obviously assuming it was part of
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: his act because his whole act was that his magic
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: tricks would fail and eventually he would show that they
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: actually worked. But his whole shtick was that he was
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: very clumsy and failed and forgot things. So the audience
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: thought that that's what was going on. So he would
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: continue to slump over more and more, eventually letting out
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: a growl, which is what people do when they're having
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a heart attack or stroke. But the audience would continue
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: to bellow in laughter, and Tommy Cooper, at this point,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: was dying. And the studio thought that this was part
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of the shtick, the whole audience did, so he was
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: literally just lying there, dying, and nobody knew what was
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: going on, and they were just all laughing at him.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: It's just terrible, it's awful. Nobody deserves that. But eventually, obviously,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: they would figure out that it was no longer an
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: act after several minutes. And they would decide to go
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to commercial while the orchestra played music to hide the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: fact that there was a now dead man on the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: floor behind the curtain that had dropped. And two people,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Dustin Gree and Les Dennis, had to do their act
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: immediately after the commercial break had ended, hiding the fact
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that something was wrong altogether. And behind the curtain, they
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: did try to revive Cooper till the ambulance could arrive.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately, they couldn't do anything and his death would
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: be announced the next day. and the horrible end of
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Tommy Cooper in front of not only a live studio audience,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: but with many people watching on live television was just
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: so incredibly disturbing. So the next live TV chilling moment
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: is the Bradford, England fire. So May 11th, 1985 was
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: a day like any other. A match between two soccer or,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Football teams, if you're in England. Sorry, that's a terrible accent. Anyway,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the teams were playing on a spring afternoon. And the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: two teams were the home team, which was Bradford City
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: versus Lincoln City, and was the final game of the season.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: And the match was held in the Valley Parade Stadium,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: a stadium with a sitting capacity of over 5,000 and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: standing capacity as well. However, in the afternoon, a horrific
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: fire would break out that would kill over 50 people
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and injure over two. So the stadium itself was built
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: in 1886. In 1911, it was finished and changed to
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: support the Bradford City Association Football Club. In years after
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: its construction and use, a county councilman mentioned several times
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: that it was in need of repair, even mentioning that
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a loose cigarette could catch a blaze. And if destiny
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: isn't more cruel than that, I don't know what is,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: because that's exactly what happened. So in the match mentioned
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: before against Bradford City and Lincoln City, They were currently
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: tied nil-nil or zero-zero. And at 3.44 p.m., five minutes
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: before halftime would start, a small glow was spotted three
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: rows from the back of Block G. And a story
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: after the whole thing went down would explain how the
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: fire really began. And ironically, like I said before, a
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: lit cigarette would start it. According to an interview reported
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: by John Helm, who was the television commentator, he would
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: personally describe how the story went down in the Express newspaper. Quote-unquote.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: But a minute or so later, it was suddenly a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: bigger whoosh of smoke, so they went to get a steward.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: By the time they got back, the whole thing had
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: taken off. So when the cigarette was dropped down between
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the floorboards, there was years and years of just garbage
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and food wrappers and all this stuff that had accumulated
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: underneath and like chips of wood and everything. Literally like
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the perfect kindling, basically. So when that cigarette hit it,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and on a dry day especially, it just... lit up.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: We've actually got a fire in the stand on the
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: far side of the ground and that looks very nasty indeed.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And seeing the fire, many began to look for a
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: fire extinguisher but none could be found. And the wind
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: was unfortunately extremely rough and hard that day. So this
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: would just stoke the fire and engulf the wooden stand
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in less than five minutes, which is so scary.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: And the game has obviously had to stop Saw the
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: smoke about a minute ago, but now that fire is
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: beginning to rage.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: So confusion spread out and many were lost and unable
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to escape the stands. And to make matters worse, some
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: of the exits were locked at the back and could
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: not be opened. Some of them would be forced opened,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: but for most, they were left locked. So people began
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to run out onto the field to escape the fire,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: continuing to spread so rapidly. But the main stand was
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: completely engulfed in fire, and the fire brigade arrived four
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: minutes after being called, but it didn't matter at that point.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: And the scene afterwards was just horrifying. Some of the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: bodies were trapped under the rubble that had fallen from
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the stands, and even some still sitting upright in their
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: chairs and just charred beyond recognition. And as for the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: on theme of the video, this was all broadcasted. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: later the uncensored version was put onto the news minutes
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: after the event had taken place. And the stands at
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: this point were completely destroyed and charred and nothing was
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: there to scavenge or rebuild. And some of the survivors
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that had injuries, which is around 265 people, obviously had
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to be treated, but they were also still wearing the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: clothes that had caught on fire. And all these people
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: were broadcasted as well.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: It was just overall a completely horrifying situation.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, these people went to.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: This football game to enjoy the game, and have a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: great day, and within five minutes, 50 people lost their lives,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: over 200 people were injured, and a stadium was completely
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: engulfed and completely burned down.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: And at the moment, there is calm, but most of
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: the people on the pitch simply can't believe it. They
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: just do not know what to do or where to go.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: The heat, the blaze is quite astonishing, and look at
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: that for a picture. It was the saddest sight one
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: could imagine.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And afterward, from there on, cigarette smoking was completely banned
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: in any stadium with wooden seats. So that this would
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: never happen again, obviously. And the club was then marked
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: two-thirds responsible and the city council one-third for their misuse
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and lack of precautions to fire safety, which... Fair enough,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you know? So my heart goes out to all the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: families affected by that. I know it was a long
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: time ago, but still, I mean, it's just terrible. But
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: it does bring us to our next live TV chilling moment,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: which is Blue Blazer. So if you were alive in
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the 90s, you were probably watching prime television. And for
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the wrestling fans, they were all watching WWE, which was
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: actually WWF before. However, something horrible horrible would happen just
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: at the end of the 90s on May 23, 1999.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Professional wrestler The Blue Blazer would perish in a horrific way,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: not only in front of a live audience, but on
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: live television as well. The Blue Blazer was known by
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: a few nicknames, The Blue Angel and The Rock but
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: friends knew him as Owen Hart, a man born in Alberta,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Canada on May 7th, 1965. And he began his career
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: as an amateur wrestler at the University of Calgary. And
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: it wasn't his first choice of career, but he enjoyed
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: what he did. And he decided to continue wrestling in
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: multiple different wrestling media. Eventually even wrestling for New Japan
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Pro Wrestling for several tours. And on May 27th, 1988,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: he defeated his opponent Hiroshi Haas. becoming the first non-Japanese
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: wrestler to win a title. And not too much later
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: after that, he would be signed and brought into the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: WWF that same year. But it was in 1994 that
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: his career would skyrocket as the Blue Blazer would become
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: more of a villain, if you will. And why was
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: he the villain, you ask? Well, he would be going
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: against his older brother, Bret Hart. And this was caused
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: by him messing up a team match alongside his brother.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: But the mess up involved his brother getting eliminated and
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the crowd booing Owen. And later on in a different match,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Bret was supposed to tag in his brother, but didn't,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: allowing the match to stop. And in anger, Owen would
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: kick his brother's leg. And this seemed fake, but behind
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the scenes, he was truly angry at his brother and
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: actually kicked him.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Owen is obviously rather being mad at his brother.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: One more time.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: It's obvious to me that Owen Hart is finally.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: And eventually, he would go against his own brother in
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania X, where he would win against him. So he
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: would stay in the WWF and continue his successful fights,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: now cemented as a popular wrestler in the community. However,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: after years and years of fighting and gaining success and
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: skyrocketing in the WWF, one match would completely ruin it all.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: In 1998, Owen would bring back his iconic blue blazer persona.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Almost as a bit as a fallen superhero. And they
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: decided at the Over the Edge pay-per-view event on May 23rd, 1999,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Owen Hart would be lowered by a set of harness
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and a grapple line to almost fly into the ring.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And this was done at the Kemper Arena for a
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: match against another wrestler. The wrestler being called the Godfather.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And the scene was meant to play out like this.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: He would begin his dramatic entrance being lowered at ring level.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Then at a safe height, the ropes would release dropping
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: him onto his face for a bit of a comedic effect.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: And in order to accomplish this, a quick release was
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: made so it could happen instantly for the dramatized effect. However,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: it didn't play out like they had planned. The beginning
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: would work out as planned, where he came out on
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the ropes and he was really high above the ring,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: 78 feet approximately, and he would know about the quick release,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: but he would not be told how sensitive that it was.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: So when he got above the ring at 78 feet,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: he moved around to kind of get more comfortable and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: he dropped and he would land directly onto his chest.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: And viewers would just watch in horror and the monitors
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: switched to commercials almost immediately. And when the commercials ended,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: only the crowd was filmed. And this is a piece
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: of lost media today viewed how Steve Irwin's death footage
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: is meant to be private from the public. And the announcer,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Jim Ross, repeatedly told those watching live that something bad
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: had happened, and it wasn't in the storyline arc. So
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Owen would immediately be rushed to a trauma medical center
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City, but unfortunately, they could not revive him.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: And the cause of death would be internal bleeding from
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: blunt force trauma, and he would die at the very
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: young age of 30. And after Owen's death, the WWF
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and Vince McMahon, which he's, there's a whole documentary about
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: him on Netflix, which I highly recommend you watch, but
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: kind of a piece of shit. He drew in controversy
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: when the company chose to continue to play the pay-per-view
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: after his death. And after specifically Jim Ross announced Owen
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Hart's death on the live broadcast, which is just f
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: * * * ing insane.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: I have the unfortunate Responsibility, let everyone know that Owen.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Hart has died.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: And after Owen's death, his family obviously sued the WWF.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: And after a year and a half, a settlement was
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: reached on November 2nd, 2000, which saw WWF pay the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: estate of Owen Hart $ 18 million with the help of
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Pamela Fisher. And Martha, who was Owen Hart's wife, used
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: some of the settlement to establish the Owen Hart Foundation.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: So just, just like, heartbreaking, so much negligence involved and
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: it just didn't need to happen. And screw Vince McMahon,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: like for real. So it's incredibly sad, but his legacy
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: lives on as one of the most entertaining performers of
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: all time. And the next story is about Lauren.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Giddings.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: So Lauren Giddings was an ordinary woman who was studying
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: law at Mercer University. She lived in Macon or Mason,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: sorry if I'm pronouncing that wrong, Georgia, and was hoping
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: to take the bar in 2011. She was an overall
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: very happy person who hoped to make a difference, not
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: just to make money, but to genuinely make a change
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: in the world. She was hoping to become a public
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: defender to help those less fortunate who couldn't afford the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: top help that they needed. So just an overall Angel,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: if you will. However, before she could take the bar,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: she would vanish without a trace. And her family, obviously
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: worried about where she went, called the police and an
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: investigation started. But the same day that she had gone missing,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: June 30th, her torso was later discovered as well. Officers
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: decided to check the sewers, hoping to find the rest
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: of the body, to truly identify if it was her.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: Police are now searching storm drains near Lauren Giddings' apartment
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: for clues in the law grad's apparent murder. The city
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: engineering department joined the homicide investigation to help navigate the
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: city drains.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Because supposedly the torso had been hacked off by a
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: saw of sorts, and her body was cut into pieces,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: but no other parts of her were found at the time.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: So the media jumped on this case immediately and began
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: to report on the story, talking to her neighbors, and
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: one of those neighbors being Stephen McDaniel. And he would
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: talk about how Lauren was her neighbor, and that he
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: was really worried about her, stating no one had seen
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: her since Saturday.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: The person that was living there?
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Lauren was my neighbor. We're just trying to find
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: out where she is at this point. I mean, no
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: one has seen her since Saturday. I mean, the last
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: time anyone heard from her was an email that she
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: sent out and... No one's heard from her since.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: He did know her pretty well, given the fact that
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: they both graduated from Mercer back in May. And the
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: interviewer would then ask him about how they found her
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: body in the parking lot nearby, and about the torso
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: that the police had found in a garbage can nearby.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: And Stephen would then have a reaction that was interesting,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: to say the least.
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: What about in the parking lot area?
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I know they've been doing a lot of, I think
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: that's where they have recovered the body or whatever they
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: recovered from there.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Body?
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: Had you seen anything there? Had you seen anything there?
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, we don't know if this is the same person.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Like, they took out a body there earlier.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: We don't know if it's the same person or not.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: That's why we're trying to ask people if they know
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: who lived there.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Are you okay, sir?
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: I think I need to sit down.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Seemingly shocked and almost nervous, tensing up and at a
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: loss for words. I mean, he just found out that
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: somebody he knew pretty well just died and that her
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: torso was found in the garbage. So, I mean, the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: reaction is pretty understandable. And this would be. An obvious
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: reaction to anyone close to her, a friend, a mother, etc.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: And after this initial reaction, Daniel would walk to the
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: side and sit on the curb, composing himself before returning
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: back to the camera to continue the interview. I don't
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: know anyone that would want to hurt her.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: She was as nice a person as there is.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Was she.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Moving?
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: And he would then start rambling about who would want
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: to hurt her since she was just nice to everybody.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: And this was only really suspicious to those who are
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: more experienced on examining psychological responses. Usually it's a sense
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: of denial or anger, and this is what made him. suspect.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: So later, Stephen would go to the police station to
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: give a statement. Anyone brought to tears from their neighbor
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: and friend's death would be important to discover some clues, obviously.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: But this interview was very long, supposedly lasting 12 hours.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: And during the interview, he said interesting things. They noticed
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: he had scratch marks on his body.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Show me that scratch again that you showed me earlier.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: What did you say happened there? I think I scratched
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: myself in my sleep.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: To which he claimed he did to himself while he
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: was sleeping. Don't we all? But despite the constant accusations
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and questions, Stephen would not confess. But he would, however,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: get arrested for burglary, supposedly stealing condoms from nearby units
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: that he lived near, which is a weird thing to steal,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: but okay. So they decided to investigate his place thoroughly
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: because they're thinking he's in and weird dude at this point.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Who steals condoms, you know? Eventually stumbling upon a USB drive.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: And this device would have recordings of Lauren's apartment. One
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: of them recorded on the night that Lauren disappeared and
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: supposedly died. And they would also find a hacksaw with
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: blood on it, guessing it's Lauren's blood, obviously. So the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: evidence was substantial. and definitely enough to build a case
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: around Stephen McDaniels. And in August of 2014, he was
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: charged with her murder. And he would state that he
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: used the master key to gain access to her apartment,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: where he would strangle her and dismember her in the bathtub.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: He had a very obvious obsession with her, unhealthily obsessed, obviously,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: and the news would report his charges.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: 25-year-old Stephen McDaniel is charged with felony murder tonight. That's
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: according to the inmate search on the Bibb County Sheriff's
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: Office website.
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: McDaniel has been a person of interest in the murder
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: of Mercer Law grad 27-year-old Lauren Giddings that happened on
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: June 30th. At this time, we cannot confirm he is
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: charged in this particular incident. However, McDaniel has been the
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: focal point in this case as Getting's neighbor at the
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: Barristers Hall apartment complex in downtown Macon.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: And watching that interview back, knowing that he's the murderer
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: is incredibly chilling. Just knowing that he got caught.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: What about in the parking lot area?
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I know they've been doing a lot of, I think
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: that's where they have recovered the body or whatever they
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: recovered from there.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: Body?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: So Steven obviously got arrested, went to jail, but he
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: has tried to get out multiple times. Even representing himself
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: in court Ted Bundy style, which is just cringe. But
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: thankfully he is still behind bars and today he is
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: located at the Hancock State Prison in Georgia. Rotten there bitch.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: And the only silver lining in this whole story is
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: that if the news is had not been filming that
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: day and had not interviewed Steven, he may have never
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: been found. Also, don't forget to download Dragon City today
