00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:03.000
Why are Dobermans ears cropped and tails docked?

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.000
Well being a guard dog for police.

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.500
Their floppy ears were more prone to getting torn and rough

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.500
situations. So their ears were cropped and made to stand

00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:13.500
upright, which was also believed to improve their hearing and their

00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:16.500
tails are naturally long and thin making them prone to

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:18.700
Breaking during high intensity activities.

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.200
So, their tails were docked,

00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:23.100
which ultimately gives them that sharp classic Doberman.

00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:26.100
Look, imagine opening a coffin and getting a bullet

00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:27.200
right into your head.

00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:29.300
Well, this was real in the 1800's,

00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:32.100
as Grave Robbers were a serious problem back then.

00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:35.400
So coffin makers started attaching a spring-loaded mechanism

00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:39.000
paired through a string with a shotgun and even with explosives

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:39.800
which would go off.

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:42.300
As soon as the coffin door was opened he tossed the

00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:45.500
ring onto the bottles but notice something was off

00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:48.600
because the tiny openings and fat bottles made

00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.600
it impossible for anyone to actually win.

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.400
So he stole a bottle and a ring when the worker

00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:57.400
wasn't looking and ran off and after he proved

00:00:57.400 --> 00:00:58.000
in court,

00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.100
that it was a scam,

00:00:59.100 --> 00:00:59.800
the carnival.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.100
Forced to shut down an 87 year old man

00:01:03.100 --> 00:01:05.900
with only weeks to live boarded a flight with one,

00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:08.900
final wish to see Alaska before he died late

00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:12.300
stage, heart failure had stolen his strength but not his dream,

00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:13.500
he stared out the window.

00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:16.000
Silently holding his granddaughter's hand,

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.900
that's when a flight attendant noticed something was different.

00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:21.700
She quietly asked if he was okay and when she heard

00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:23.600
the truth that this was his bucket list.

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:26.500
Goodbye, she vanished down the aisle minutes later.

00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:29.600
She returned with a pair of Airline wings and a handwritten

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:32.700
note. Note that said we're honored to fly with you today.

00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:34.800
Thank you for letting us be part of your journey.

00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:38.200
The man clutch that note the entire flight three weeks later,

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.000
he passed away at the funeral,

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.300
the note was found carefully.

00:01:41.300 --> 00:01:42.800
Placed in his coat pocket.

00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:43.500
His family said,

00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:45.500
it meant more to him than the trip itself.

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:46.900
He didn't get to see everything,

00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:48.400
but he saw Alaska,

00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:49.200
the mountains,

00:01:49.300 --> 00:01:50.100
the sky,

00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:50.700
the moment,

00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:53.700
he'd waited a lifetime for and thanks to one kind

00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:57.100
stranger, his last flight felt like something bigger than goodbye.

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.200
It felt like peace because sometimes the This

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.200
gesture becomes.

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:02.600
Someone's final treasure,

00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:05.900
the mountain tunnels are built in two ways first workers

00:02:05.900 --> 00:02:08.100
drilled meltable deep holes into the Rock,

00:02:08.100 --> 00:02:11.400
back them with explosives and blast their way forward clearing

00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.400
the rubble and reinforcing the walls before the next round

00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:18.200
second, the tunnel Boring Machine method where a gigantic

00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:20.600
rotating cutter head grinds through the mountain.

00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:24.000
While conveyor belt to carry the debris away and concrete segments.

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.000
Instantly form the tunnel walls.

00:02:26.100 --> 00:02:28.500
If a grenade suddenly lands in front of you,

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.200
most people think Hiding inside a fridge,

00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:34.400
would save your life but fridges are made of thin metal

00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:37.300
and the blast pressure can easily knock them over.

00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:39.700
Crushing you inside hiding.

00:02:39.700 --> 00:02:42.900
Behind a fridge is slightly better than being inside,

00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:44.500
but it's still weak protection.

00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:47.600
You'd need to stack two to three more fridges to stop

00:02:47.600 --> 00:02:50.600
the fragments but with only three to five seconds

00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:53.900
before. If you're hiding inside a shipping container during a nuclear

00:02:53.900 --> 00:02:56.100
explosion would you survive?

00:02:56.200 --> 00:02:59.300
Most people think it would save you from the blast because

00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:02.700
steel look Solid and protective but the truth is

00:03:02.700 --> 00:03:06.000
shipping containers are just thin corrugated metal.

00:03:06.300 --> 00:03:09.100
The blast wave would crush or flip the container like a

00:03:09.100 --> 00:03:12.900
toy and the walls would heat up until you'd cook inside

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.400
without extra shielding.

00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:16.300
The container won't protect you.
