The 300% fatality rate surgery is something that's darkly hilarious, like you expect it to be a skit from a very morbid comedy, but it actually happened.

[richewilson]

The Italian railroad accident is like the Titanic of railroad accidents. With all the things that could have been prevented were not taken into account.

[ProfessorDreamer]

Simple History can you do a Simple History video on all of the animals in William Randolph Hearst's Private Zoo.

[jhavitify]

This is probably my favorite just chill, no drama channel. Thank you for it

[tigerbalmenema]

The lady with the scarf is sad, but that animation is hilarious 😂

[LEFTBASS]

It’s doubtful that the Romans actually wiped with communal sponge sticks. The sticks existed, but they were likely used for cleaning the toilets, not for wiping.

It’s kind of like archeologists in the future finding our toilet brushes and assuming we wiped with them.

In the SL-1 criticality accident, Byrnes was actually impaled by the control rod and litterally pinned to the ceiling by it.

[Shineon]

Idk, but the “glass-busting lawyer” killed me (as did the “cactus-killer”)…….

[elisereel]

i watched this video while comiting tax fraud

[peelsherrif]

I recommend simple history to make videos on the following disappearances:
1) SS-Obergruppenführer Hans Kammler - last located in Ebensee on 4th of May 1945.
2) SS-Gruppenführer Heinrich Müller - last seen in the Führerbunker on the evening of 1st of May 1945.

Crazy, I’ve been super into mountain disasters the last week or so and in the animation I was able to identify most of the people lol. Simple history is probably how I stumbled upon this videos

[allys]

It’s interesting how this video changed in tone. First, you see the strange deaths by scarves, cacti and testing unbreakable glass windows. Then, you hear about the unrest in Vietnam over Buddhist and immediately, the mood shifts.

[Cecpool]

I have never been so scared of an umbrella in my life

[dmikewilcox]

The death by cactus 🌵 story had me rolling my eyes. 'Murica... My people.

[judybash]

"He was described as one of the best and smartest"
Yeah! That's right👍🏾

[MyPhobo]

Man, imagine the willpower it would take to just sit there cross-legged while your flesh burns. Most people would try to stop it at some point, and nobody would blame them.

[annabelladebonnay]

This video is both banefully bleak and wonderfully entertaining!!!!Thank You !!!

[rickysutphin]

That would be so horrifying. Climbing a mountain and coming across a preserved corpse! Mad fear and anxiety fr

[Lans]

Yep, the windows were unbreakable. The frames...not so much.

[Gocever]

A thrilling and blood-curdling video, great going Simple History 🎉
