Okay

The Silvertown explosion at the Brunner Mond works, by any chance?

@@canturgan That's literally in the video...

The sinking of the SS Princess Alice. A tragedy that for once warrants the description as such.

So we can look forward to a video about the Princess Alice Disaster from 1878? ;)

Flim-Flam,I love that term and flippityjibbet 🤷‍♀️

Exactly. That's with this channel is 10,000 times better than other well-produced channels like Bedtime Stories. No insulting the intelligence with absurdity; just the genuine, chilling, eerie truth.

Is flimflam a UK term? A few English mates of mine say that and, until you, had never asked where it came from, but I dig it.

@@DreamsAreLies it is an English term,it means rubbish (trash),lies,a con. Ya get the idea love.

@@DreamsAreLies - I'm sure it's English. It was, however, famously used in a speech by Malcolm X: "There'll be no skullduggery, no flim-flam, no controlled show..."

Ian, always a pleasure. I hope everyone likes it... and that I've got all my facts right.

@@CuriousWorldProductions I'm pretty sure that you have. An excellent upload - just what we've grown to expect from Curious World. I hope that life is treating you well, and that you and your loved ones are staying safe. Take care ✌️

Agreed, and his research seems very thorough!

i found his voice a little boring to be honest. excellent stories though

@@lushkarma2012 Calm British voice, that can be fully understood, yes not like Stephen Fry's excellent voice but it's ok, also certainly not a loud fast, no pause American voice, recently I had to decrease 2 American uploads to .75 speed as they spoke too fast with no pausing.

Hard the

Thanks, Robert.

Swimming why not ?

Swimmingmate ,B5titts no idea

I love your Mini!

No

Did he not go to the police?

@@michellekourea275 Naturally. You can`t go finding dead bodies and not reporting it.

😅 I'm going as fast as I can.

@@CuriousWorldProductions I love your videos. It is evident by the rhythm of your narration just how much effort you put in. It must take a long time to get the facts straight and tell the story without it ever sounding salacious. Great work.

Certain seizures can make for some messy behaviours... murder isn't one. Eloping, eating uncontrolled, verbal abuse or kicking off (generally in confusion) etc are indeed normal post tonic clonic.

Epilepsy's a lot more complex than that- but people with it are NOT deranged murderers either. My ex had medication-resistant epilepsy, & he had "mixed" seizures, sometimes for many hours- sometimes they included grand mal (tonic-clonic) & petit mal (absence) episodes, but he also went into a state where he was "conscious" & active but couldn't understand what was going on, & he DEFINITELY did things he didn't want to do, including being violent.

Plus the fact that he gave a completely different story to the police kind of discredited that excuse.

Correct

There was so much stigma surrounding epilepsy back then

As you can imagine, there are many many more. I was tempted to cover other historical cases, but it would have got repetitive.

@@CuriousWorldProductions Well you can do them like you do your various places videos, well spaced out. Although you probably know what is best for you and your channel. I really enjoyed this video.

@@08andylee Yep, no doubt they'll appear in future videos under other relevant titles.

@@CrazyInsanelikeafox yes. Tragic. He was extremely talented

Glad to hear you're over the Covid, Fruitbat.

Glad you are recovering from covid. I wish you the best of health 💐❤️

Glad you are well

@99fruitbat .... remember to get plenty of rest while you're recovering 🚑

One of the strangest explanations I've heard from a murderer. I heard it again last week on another documentary. I forget which one.

@@CuriousWorldProductions I've never heard anything like it myself - I'm amazed that his lawyer went along with such a defence. It shows a shockingly callous disregard for the victims, and of course their respective friends and families. Not only having to listen to this lowlife describe how he'd killed their daughter/sister, but to then hear him attempt to justify the awful mutilation with one of the strangest reasonings I've ever heard. Clearly a very dangerous man - I'd be surprised if he doesn't have more victims.

@@ianmacfarlane1241 That's a very good point, regarding more victims.

@@ianmacfarlane1241 He was quite possibly a narcissist as well as a very violent man. They think they are above the law and have superficial charm and are fantastic liars. Probably thought he could get away with lying which had more than likely worked for him throughout his life up to that point. Just my theory.

I once told an actor, who did a skit as a killer, that he played it too crazy. When I watch who-do-it shows, I always guess the killer. The actor always gives it away.

Hope you had a lovely Christmas Sabine.☃️🌲🧑‍🎄

@@alex-E7WHU Yes , my daughter gave me so much presents , I was speechless. Perhaps yo know that in Germany people celebrating Jesus'birthday on Christmas Eve with the family , presents and a good meal. In the U.K. and USA the 25th is the great day , that is different to Germany. Wish you a Happy New Year.

I wondered where my American friends had got to.

@@CuriousWorldProductions We're here.

How terrible to lose four children like that poor family. I hope they managed to come to terms with it afterwards.

@@leedsman54 I'm not sure you could. I think that'd be all she wrote for me.

@@CuriousWorldProductions Yank fan here too! First generation, parents came here from England.

Yes, this is an interesting point that has been raised and is probably central to the story, in fact.

Appreciate it, Rob. Thanks.

Oh cool. My next video is based in Scandinavia.

@@CuriousWorldProductions That's so cool. Can't wait to see the video 😃

Greetings to you!

Greetings form England, thanks to your (Norse) and (Dane) raiders we have my fave city..... York, thank you Vikings.

@@leemarples1643 Hi Lee. Yes York is a great city. I have visited once but really want to go back 😃. So much history and things to see.

I never left.

@@CuriousWorldProductions I'm very glad!

Londiniums history is interesting

There was already a thriving port there, established by the Phoenicians a thousand years before the Romans got here.

@@nodiggity9472 that's the first I've ever heard of the Phoenicians making it all to the way to the British Isles. Besides trade.

@@grapeshot Well yeah, they traded right on up into Scandinavia, and down the West Coast of Africa for sure. Maybe further. The only buildings or permanent settlements up the Thames during that period though (apart from docking infrastructure) seem to have been Temples to various Mediterranean/Greek/Egyptian Gods, probably to cater to established trading partners and the deific diversity among their crews. There were Temples to Apollo, Poseidon, Ahura Mazda, Dagon, Ra, Osirus, all the big hitters. Funnily, there were many Temples to Thoth, but rather than in his more common Ibis headed aspect, he was always depicted as Baboon headed, which was quite rare, even in Egypt after around 1500 bc. There's an interesting theory around that many of the pre-Roman Temples here were representative of, and maintained by the many mystery traditions that sprang up around these trade routes over the centuries, but I don't know how solid that is. There were certainly colleges of learned scholarly types here way before the Celts started turning up here around 500 bc, and they were certainly using the same solar calendar that the Sumerians were. History likes us to think that the Romans brought brought the first real civilisation to Britain, but that's mostly bullshit. Those long, straight roads, with their temples and trading posts, the ports on the Thames, the Severn, the Fal and the Tamar, all here waaaaay before Caesar arrived. The Cult of Mithra is associated with (particularly) the Roman Army, but there were *caves* here serving as Mithraic temples from the times of the Punic Wars. All that well before Caesar. Recently, Matrilinear DNA has proven that before Rome was even a thing, there was a major influx of DNA from where Turkey/Syria shared coastal territories, marked by the combinant gene for ginger hair and green eyes that goes right back to the first Minoans. Nowadays, we're finding more and more evidence suggesting there were already sophisticated international communication networks established, from Britain that dated back well before the Bronze age collapse, particularly concerned with mining and processing metals. (mostly tin, lead and gold) For centuries before the BAC, I think Cornwall was one of the only sources of tin pure enough to make decent bronze. So . . . . Romanes Eunt Domus. 'People called Romanes they go the house'? etc.

@@nodiggity9472 this wouldn't be some kind of conspiracy theory would it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Evan, if anyone knows of such a position, I'd be interested in the research side.

Quite right. Though as you well know, the vessel having the right of way has a responsibility to avoid a collision in the event that a conflict is imminent. The captain of the Bow Belle should have placed a lookout at the bow of the vessel and ensured there was some form of communication with the wheelhouse. Having made the trip a number of times along the Thames from Teddington out into the North Sea I know only too well how difficult it is to assimilate all that is visible against city lights in the dark hours.

@@jamesgraham6122 Basically, the Marchioness was hove down. As you say, she had very limited scope for evasive action, more like a hedgehog on the road.The Bowbelle had made the trip many times and like so many cases in which repetition occurs, the crew seemed to have become habitually complacent. That said, these dredgings were not spontaneous events. The skipper of the Marchioness should've known of the Bowbelle's regular business and made inquiries into projected large river vessel timetables that night. It's certainly something I would've done. He must surely have known that in an emergency, many of his passengers might be in no fit state to respond with alacrity. My own experience is that lots of booze and fast-flowing deep water make a dire combination...

Thanks for watching. I'll have some tales from Canada this year. Any recommendations, please email me via the email on my channel art.

@@CuriousWorldProductions Sounds good brother. I watch a lot of this stuff, glad I came across your channel. Definitely a sub and likes from me.

@@benisaten I appreciate it, Ben.

@@CuriousWorldProductions If you're looking for some from Canada, I'm from the city of the Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo murders. That pissed us off pretty bad. Then there's the Luka Magnotta one. Both of these have been done many times before on other channels and documentaries, they're just the first off the top of my head because they resonate a little too close to home. Anyways thanks for all of your hard work my friend. Best regards.

Disgusting what they did DNA was not being used I gather for finger prints I don't see how either.poor families to be told that

I was on the Marchioness exactly one week before, and with a party with friends and neighbours. Nearly all of us completely pissed, a band playing so you couldn't hear anything inside, and a couple of drunken girls nearly fell off the back of the boat. It was bad enough without the awful fact of the defilement of their bodies - for the convenience of the investigators, nothing else. This sordid detail gives me the horrors every time I'm reminded of it.

Thanks, Philipp. If anyone is still wondering, this is the guy whose music appeared on my Ratcliffe Highway Murders video.

That disaster was horrifying. I remember it well. The missing hands too.
