Episode 1 of James Burke's most well-known series "Connections" which explores the surprising and unexpected ways that our modern technological world came into existence. Each episode investigates the background of usually one particular modern invention and how it came into being. These explorations are an attempt to locate the "connections" between various historical figures who seemingly had nothing to do with each other in their own times, however once connected, these same figures combined to produce some of the most profound impacts on our modern day world; in a "1+1=3" type of way.
It is this type of investigation that is the main idea behind the Knowledge Web project; whereby sophisticated software is used to attempt to discover these subtle connections automatically. See http://k-web.org.

"Scandinavian Airlines 911"
-
Man, that was an excellent show.
-
@JamesBurkeWeb I read the comments all the way back. That in itself was worth the time... Is that Bernie Mac at 8:33. He names them all except the black guy. He shows a strong racist tendency.
-
Figure he made this 30 years ago. He is speaking like people are still not today. Why would you not assume the second 'speaking'?
-
Probably been said a 100 times... This show should be in syndication every SATURDAY morning.
-
wow, is that the WTC at the start? then flight 911? l hope the NWO nuts dont see this ha
-
Beginning of episode he takes an elevator to the top of the World Trade Center, then later they focus on Scandinavian Airlines flight 911... totally eerie.
-
have you played the game.
-
Love "Connections", but its kind of weird from a 9/11 perspective to watch James Burke ride to the top of the World Trade Center.
