======================================================
Lawrence Beesley, an English science teacher, journalist, and author, boarded the Titanic as a second class passenger. He had been in his cabin reading when the collision with the iceberg occurred. Beesly stopped a steward to ask what had happened but was advised that it was nothing. Luckily, he made his way up to A-Deck and was ordered to jump into Lifeboat No. 13 just before it launched. He wrote a successful book about his experience called The Loss of the SS Titanic that was published just nine weeks after the disaster.
Frederick Fleet, an English crewman and lookout on the RMS Titanic, was one of the first to spot the iceberg that sunk the Titanic. Fleet believed the iceberg could have been spotted earlier had the only pair of binoculars on the Titanic been used instead of stored in an officer’s locker. This may have given the Titanic more time to evade the iceberg and could have prevented the sinking altogether. Fleet was assigned to Lifeboat No. 6 to assist the passengers and was among the survivors rescued by the Carpathia.
Violet Constance Jessop, an Argentinian stewardess aboard the Olympic, Titanic’s sister ship, was persuaded by her friends to sign on as a stewardess for the Titanic’s maiden voyage. She was half asleep in her bunk when the collision occurred, and was immediately ordered up on deck. Jessop was ordered into Lifeboat No. 16 and given a baby to look after. After eight hours, the passengers aboard Lifeboat No. 16 were rescued by the Carpathia, and the baby was reunited with its mother. Jessop later survived the sinking of the Britannic, another sister ship of the Titanic.
Dorothy Gibson, an American silent film actress, model, and singer, was one of the more famous people aboard the Titanic. She was playing bridge with her friends in the lounge when the Titanic collided with the iceberg. Gibson and two of her friends escaped in Lifeboat No. 7, the first lifeboat launched. After arriving in New York on the rescue ship Carpathia, she was persuaded by her manage to appear in a film based on the sinking. She even appeared in the same clothing she had worn aboard the Titanic that night-a white silk evening dress topped with a cardigan and polo coat.
Elizabeth Shutes, and American governess to Scottish noblewoman Margaret Graham, boarded the Titanic as a first class passenger. Shutes and Graham felt the collision from their cabin, but when they asked a passing crewman if anything was wrong, he assured them there was no danger. However, they were quickly ordered to board Lifeboat No. 3 just moments later. Shutes later described the chaotic scene on the lifeboat, shortly before they were rescued by the Carpathia: “Our men knew nothing about the position of the stars, hardly how to pull together. Two oars were soon overboard. The men’s hands were too cold to hold on…Then across the water swept that awful wail, the cry of those drowning people.” Sadly, only 706 passengers survived the disaster. 1,503 people died.

Origin of the 8 Hour Work Day

The 8 hour work day is quite common now, but it wasn't always this way. Back in the late 18th century during the Industrial Revolution, companies started to maximize the output of their factories by running them 24/7. At that time, 10-16 hour days were the norm. These incredibly long work days were not sustainable and soon a brave man named Robert Owen started a campaign to have people work no ...

M&M's stands for Mars & Murrie. M&M’s were first sold in 1941, but when World War II began, they were sold exclusively to the U.S. military.

During this time, the M&M factory in Newark, New Jersey produced 200,000 pounds of M&M’s pe...

Hitler's American Nephew (William Patrick Hitler)
My favourite mathematician who married his cousin
And don't forget he also drew the Istanbul bridge exactly as it was built in the year 2000 - 500 years later, they used his project!
I using this for my history homework. I hope i pass 🙏
After playing Assassin's Creed Brotherhood... I HATE THAT ARMORED TANK!!!
This is so interesting and wanna learn more🎉😊❤
It still hasn't ended, it's raging on currently in Ukraine and Israel.
Here is a model kit of da Vinci's tank
My new invention is a vacuum cleaner that doesn't use electric. As you push the appliance forward, you pull the string and it spins the brush too!
So he only went against his uncle because he didn't get a high ranking cozy position.
Grave-ity is not real. Levity, density, and buoyancy are though.
Wordplay doesn't work, you know

@@HDPersonal777 I’m pretty sure chalk on a board does work, moron. I just used it three days ago
@@HDPersonal777 Buoyancy is based on Gravity, since it equates to your weight, which is massxgravity. Chalk doesn't work for you because you can't read

Roosevelt stole al Capone's clothing 😅
Hitler pranked the jews
Remember, he did all of this by asking why.
Multiple canon look like organ gun from age of empires ii.
It’s my firm belief that if we were to somehow resurrect Da Vinci, we’d all he driving flying cars by the end of the decade
Imagine if he invented a videogame console

You're not the only one.
Gods. Someone online told me his name was inspired by my favorite angel and I nearly believed it given that my favorite angel is sometimes known as Samiel and is Death. Good to see though that Uncle Sam was in fact a flesh and blood person before he was war propiganda. Not a seventh demensional force of nature.
No joke

I guess even the smartest make poor decisions
Why you think its a poor decision?🙄
Why u think
Mfs when you tell them that you can be gifted in the things that matter while also be dumb in other fields that don’t matter, or that you can somewhat respect the works of others while also criticising their characters😱😱😱😱😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Also, as far as I’m aware, it seemed to be a marriage of convenience, since he never had a kid with her, unlike a certain German scientist (ahem, “Von Braun). Whether or not that makes it any better, i don’t think so, but that’s up to you.
Smart guy. He really applied the theory of relativity there.

lmao
WH Hitler's mother was an Irish woman named Bridget Dowling.
Look. There is no actual evidence that any of those dodgy brown ink drawings were made by Leonardo. He was just a renaissance artist and all the other stuff about his incredible forward looking inventions was made up in the 1970s.
Did u know that my birthday is lenardo di vinchis?
Weren't his parents also cousins?
Yeah. Their fathers were cousins and mothers were sisters.
It's said that his marriage to Elsa was a marriage of convenience and I don't understand why. If someone can help me understand.

The bribe he was referring to is that Hitler had a Jewish ancestry
60 children died...6 of the survivors died later...by suicide.
Of course it was a prank. Hitler would never ever kill someone who he thought was a political enemy.
He became new Captain America
