Wright Brothers First Flight, 1903 - A Day That Shook The World [HD]. Orville and Wilbur Wright's first recorded flight caught exclusively by British Pathé in 1903. On December 17, news came through that two brothers had flown a curious air machine for more than a minute. To the sceptics, this footage proved that it was true.

A Day That Shook The World is the classic series that recalls the days of the 20th century that proved to be era-defining and pivotal in the course of modern history.

  • 1:38 Can you imagine what that must have been like, witnessing two men flying for the very first time? Or even when the first men went into outer space?? There are a lot of elements of history I wish I could have witnessed.

    Maybe I'll be around when they invent a cure for cancer or HIV, or 'hover cars', or maybe even discovering alien life forms, possibly even intelligent ones (hey, you never know).

  • Have you ever heard of Santos Dummont?
