  • @ijunkie New Yorker here. I would definitely have been enraged if that came from an American lol

  • I see your videos for hours and hours, i cant stop,, greetings from Argentina: D

  • @PeriodicElements What Mythbusters proved wrong is the myth that hydrogen had NOTHING TO DO with the explosion. But their second model (the one with the same coating as the Hindenburg) DID have small thermite reactions happening and accelerating the fire (although, NOT as explosive as their megadope model). At the end, they concluded that EVERYTHING was wrong with the Hindenburg: the lifting gas AND the coating. So: myth that the coating was the ONLY cause of the fire: BUSTED.

  • The U.S. had a ban on helium exports, so it had nothing to do with Germany using the airships politically. The Hindenburg was designed to use Helium already in 1930-31, but the U.S. kept the ban so hydrogen had to be used instead. Helium was very expensive, and even in the U.S. they had to conserve the gas and not waste any.

  • @ijunkie hey i live at the jersey shore, i hope that wasn't a dis to jersey ;P

  • Tell a New Yorker that New Jersey and New York are pretty much the same! HAHAHAHA

  • Okay I'm seriously freaked out right now. The guy at 0:02 looks and sounds like me.

  • @periodicvideos I would submit that the number of people killed over physical stuff (elements like gold, diamond, etc.) is relatively small compared to the number of people killed due to ideology - religion, politic, ethnic cleansing, etc.

    Since the key elements involved in the brain are salts of potassium, sodium and chlorine I think these are the front runners in your search.

    :-)
