Have you ever met a person who hasn’t ever heard the story of Titanic? Unlikely. Even if you ask a 10-year-old, they’ll tell you exactly what took down the gigantic ship. However, some survivors of the sinking legend would beg to differ. Here’s one of their stories, and it has nothing to do with an iceberg. Armenian publicist Vaghinak Byurat was 25 years old in the spring of 1912. He described what happened on his journey to America on the most famous ship in the world in his memoirs. He’s never mentioned an iceberg hitting the Titanic, and always spoke about an explosion. And if what he said was true, something must have caused that huge explosion… 💥 Btw, guys, there is a cat hidden in this video. If you can spot our furry little guy, you're much more attentive than most people! Do you accept the challenge? 😽 Other videos you might like:

Was there a U-boat? 😮 8:21 #titanic #brightside #ships Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– Armenian publicist Vaghinak Byurat was 25 years old in the spring of 1912. He described what happened on his journey to America on the most famous ship in the world in his memoirs.
– In 1912, Vaghinak published some books together with his father, a famous Armenian writer. His task was to take the books to America.
– They went to bed rather late on April 14, just like on the other nights. Shortly after midnight, something that sounded like a big explosion woke everyone up.
– None of the crew members wanted to say anything, but a few minutes later it was impossible to deny that the Titanic was going underwater.
– Vaghinak put his passport and money in a little bag and tied it around his neck. The Titanic’s bow was already underwater by that time. A lot of people in this situation wouldn’t have dared to take it to the open water.
– The water in the North Atlantic that night was just below freezing, at a scary 28 degrees Fahrenheit (-2 C). The young writer felt his arms and legs go numb, and he was understandably getting weaker and weaker every second.
– Then, he bumped into something. It was a lifeboat! But it was so overcrowded they pushed the young man with a paddle when he tried to stick to the boat.
– Vaghinak woke up alive on board another ship. That ship was the Carpathia, and it was en route to New York with lucky survivors on board.
– 12 days later, a woman came into the room. She turned out to be the person who saved Vaghinak. Missis Astor told the sailors that the young man was her son, and she wouldn’t let them go without him since she’d already lost her husband on the Titanic.
– Vaghinak lived a long and happy life and, as a great storyteller, he shared what happened to him many times. Interestingly, he’s never mentioned an iceberg hitting the Titanic, and always spoke about an explosion.
– It could have been a fire, and quite a lot of people actually believe that theory, saying that coal was burning in the ship’s hull.
– Another theory that explained the explosion claimed that there was a German U-boat involved in the sinking of Titanic. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More Monopoly Is Becoming More Real Than You Could Ever Imagine Videos

The story of Mary Celeste is one of the greatest sea mysteries of all time. How can everyone on board a ship simply vanish into thin air? There are plenty of theories but no answers to this day. Perhaps she was doomed from the start? Actually, she didn’t always go by Mary Celeste. She was originally called Amazon. The ship was made in 1861, and from her first voyage, the Amazon already started getting a bad reputation for possibly being a cursed ship… When she got a new name, her new captain was Benjamin Spooner Briggs. He put together the best crew, and those 7 men along with their captain and his family set out on that fateful trans-Atlantic trip from New York to Genoa… Other videos you might like:

Why the ship had a bad reputation 0:55
10 people on board and 1,700 barrels of alcohol 2:40
The situation gets totally bizarre 3:10
Nobody on the ship 3:59
The captain's journal 4:30
What theories are there? 5:12
Mutiny on board? 7:32
The most probable theory 8:19 #ghostship #mystery #truestories Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– A lot of her future owners would go bankrupt, each of them selling the vessel to repay their debts. She also lost her first captain to illness. During Amazon’s first journey across the Atlantic Ocean, the ship crashed into another vessel, sending the latter to the bottom of the English Channel.
– Along with the 10 people on board, the ship was also carrying 1,700 barrels of denatured alcohol. This industrial liquid is highly flammable if not contained properly. – For reasons unknown to this very day, Mary Celeste never did make it to Genoa. At some point in her journey, something terrible happened. – There wasn’t a single soul on the ship. Ok, well, perhaps they had to abandon? But here’s the thing: all of their belongings and food were still there! – Captain Briggs had a habit of keeping very detailed and thorough notes in his journal. The last entry had been made on November 25. It mentioned bad weather, but nothing more – nothing that would be enough to force Briggs, his wife and daughter, and the crew to leave Mary Celeste in such a hurry.
– Perhaps the captain didn’t think the ship would survive the storm, given that it might easily flood with a broken pump. The only problem is that there were no storms reported in that area at that time. – One theory suggests that pirates could’ve attacked the ship. But that theory doesn’t hold since all the personal belongings, food, and valuable cargo were left untouched. – What if the crew mutinied against their captain? Briggs was known to be pretty strict with discipline. Again, it’s highly unlikely and pretty much disproven. – The final and most probable theory comes down to the 9 alcohol barrels found empty on the ship. They were made from a kind of porous timber that couldn’t stop alcohol from evaporating.
– Captain Briggs might’ve noticed that some barrels were empty and ordered everybody to get off the ship as soon as possible before the hull explodes.
– And still, even this theory has its flaws. Why was there no smell of alcohol on board when Mary Celeste was found if 9 whole barrels had leaked completely dry? Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More The Mysterious Ship Where All People Suddenly Disappeared Videos

You know the old saying, “Desperate times call for desperate measures.” Well, that couldn’t be a more accurate description of what one woman had to do when forced by tragic circumstance. Mary Ann Bevan agreed to bear the title of “the world’s ugliest woman” in order to feed her kids… Mary Ann Webster was born in London in 1874. She was a pretty little girl, healthy and cheerful. After finishing school, she started working as a nurse, and at 29, she got married. They had 2 daughters and 2 sons together, and it looked like this young couple was on the road to a long happy life together… Other videos you might like:

How her disease became a source of income 3:08
Freak shows 5:06
The “mysterious” factor 5:28
“Expectation vs. Reality” cards 7:18 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– Mary Ann’s health issues didn’t seem serious at first – her wedding ring started feeling a bit too tight, she went up in shoe sizes. But swollen fingers and feet were pretty normal after having kids.
– The doctors initially had no clue what was going on with her, but as time went by, new symptoms started appearing. Her hands and feet were becoming abnormally large, her face was changing drastically, her skin was thicker and rougher, and her voice got deeper and hoarser.
– What this poor woman had was a very rare condition called acromegaly. As few as three people for every million are diagnosed each year. – Nowadays, acromegaly is treated successfully with surgery, radiation therapy on the pituitary gland, medication, or a combination of these methods.
– Unfortunately for Mary Ann Bevan, there was no cure or successful treatments for the disease back in the early 20th century, which means she was doomed to live with it and somehow put up with its symptoms.
– Her disease might’ve been incurable, but it became a source of income for the widow and her children.
– In 1920, she got an offer from American showman Samuel Gumpertz to work in Coney Island’s Dreamland sideshow. In other words, she’d become part of a “freak” show where she’d join other people with different illnesses and abnormalities to entertain the masses.
– Around the middle of the 19th century, freak shows started gaining wild popularity in the US. It even became a sort of outing for the whole family, kids and all!
– The popularity spike in this unusual form of entertainment was also in part because choices were limited as far as how people could spend their free time.
– Apart from her work in the sideshows, there were multiple cards that read “The homeliest woman in the world” with Mary Ann's picture on them. She took this title in stride and would bear it for the rest of her life.
– Mary Ann was also a patient of the famous neurosurgeon Dr. Harvey Cushing. He actually made an attempt to bring it home to people that it was cruel to make fun of her appearance.
– In the early 2000s, a prominent greeting card company started selling “Expectation vs. Reality” cards about blind dates.
– Dutch endocrinologist Dr. Wouter de Herder saw them on sale while he was on vacation in the UK, he was utterly shocked. The card company stopped selling the card immediately and expressed their regret about the whole thing. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More A Woman Who Became a Laughing Stock to Save Her Kids From Hunger Videos

Strong and muscular arms are every man’s desire, aren’t they? Even without the rest of your body ripped, you look immediately handsome with those sculpted biceps and triceps. Not to mention that arm strength helps a lot in everyday activities too! Well, you could get your arms beefed up at home with just some pushups! In general, pushups are perceived as chest exercise, targeting pectorals and shoulders the most. However, they are much more versatile than that — it only depends on how you do them. Performed correctly, they are beneficial almost for your entire body: abs, back muscles, neck, and of course, arms. Today’s pushup workout will focus on making your biceps, triceps, and shoulder muscles bulkier and more sculpted, and you’ll achieve that in just 10 minutes a day. Other videos you might like:

What you should eat 7:28
What if you want even faster results 7:55
Two types of muscle mass 8:40 #musclemass #bigarms #pushupworkout Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– To perform standard pushups, get into the plank position: put your palms firmly on the floor so that your hands are directly under your shoulders. Keep your arms straight, propping your entire upper body on them. At the same time, straighten your legs behind you and prop them up on your toes.
– Diamond pushups variation has a pretty name and pretty good results if you want to target your biceps. Prop yourself in the standard plank position and bring your hands closer together. Spread your fingers apart so that your thumbs and index fingers make the shape of a diamond (hence the name). Now start lowering your body to the floor. – Pushups with reversed hands. Stand in the initial pushup position and move your hands lower down your body, aligned with somewhere around your mid-back. Now reverse your hands so that your fingers look at your toes. If you’ve managed not to drop to the floor at this, you’re already doing great job!
– Single-leg pushups will not only target your arms, chest, and back, but also improve your coordination and balance. Get into the standard plank position, stretch your legs behind you and put your hands directly below your shoulders. Now slightly raise one foot off the ground and then do a pushup. – Gorilla pushups. Get into the plank position with your body straight as an arrow. Now, this is the only exercise where you don’t need to be slow — quite the contrary, in fact. Quickly drop down to the floor and then use your arms to explode upwards and lift your upper body off the ground.
– If you want even faster results, combine the pushups with other exercises targeting your arm muscles. For biceps, the most effective ones are bicep curls with dumbbells and barbell raises: they directly work these muscles, making them firm and rounded. – If you want to stay lean, make your strength exercise routine low-resistance, with many repetitions, and combine it with aerobic training to burn fat. – If big muscles are exactly what you aim for, though, you should do the exact opposite: short sets of high-resistance exercises. Take heavier weights, for example, and perform as many reps as you can. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More 10-Minute Pushup Workout for Big and Muscular Arms Videos

Have you ever thought why there are so many tutorials on how to get a perfect six-pack for guys but so few for girls to achieve those 11 abs? How about setting the record straight right this moment with a super effective workout? It’s going to give you incredible results in just a month! But what’s the deal with this 11 abs thing? In fact, it’s just like a six-pack, only without the actual six-pack. While men are striving to get those iron-hard cubes on their stomachs, ladies are generally keener on slim and toned bellies. Where does number 11 come from, you ask? It’s from the vertical lines along the waistline that make your tummy so feminine and attractive. To tone those muscles right, though, you have to train as hard as you would for a six-pack. Other videos you might like:

Bridge with straight legs 3:43
Leg lifts 4:37
Bicycle crunches 5:47
Russian twists 6:49 #bellyfat #perfectabs #flatbelly Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– If you’re itching for beautiful abs, plank is just about perfect. It activates your entire core, and if you do it right, your abdominal muscles get a lot of tension.
– Bridge with folded legs isn’t that hard, but it’s really useful if you’re about to get those 11 abs. At the same time, it also targets your core and glutes as a pleasant bonus.
– Side plank is also necessary for beautiful abs because, unlike the classic plank, it also targets your obliques more specifically. Those are what shapes your waistline, so don’t waste them!
– Bridge with straight legs is rather different and cool, though. It also engages your core, but it’s more about your obliques than anything else.
– The first four exercises were pretty much focused on your core and stability, and now we move on to targeting particular muscles that will give you the abs of your dreams. Leg lifts are the first of the series: they engage your lower abs, core, and legs (obviously).
– No abs workout should exclude bicycle crunches if you’re aiming at that perfect shape. They target your obliques and make them burn like nothing else, so it’s an absolute must for us today.
– Russian twists is by far the hardest exercise in this routine, but it’s also the last, so wipe your sweat and rejoice! Russian twists also hit your obliques, which are, as you might’ve guessed, the most crucial part of those 11 abs. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More 7 Easy Exercises to Get 11 Line Abs in a Month Videos

The life of this Danish explorer was full of wild adventures that Hollywood action movies can’t even compare to. Peter Freuchen was born in 1886, in Denmark. His father was a wealthy businessman who hoped that his son would have a respectful career. At first, Freuchen obeyed his father’s wish and went to the University of Copenhagen to study medicine. But soon he realized that an ordinary life just wasn’t for him; he craved danger. And he got what he wanted! Freuchen dropped out of the university and joined one of Arctic expeditions. As you can guess, life there was anything but easy. Imagine living in a hut where there’s no one within miles. Only frigid cold and, well, lurking wolves. And Freuchen didn't know that two years of studying medicine would save his life one day… Other videos you might like:

How Freuchen’s life ended 9:00 #PeterFreuchen #adventures #amazingpeople Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– In 1906, he and some other members of the Denmark expedition sailed north as far as possible, then left the ship and continued traveling 600 miles (966 km) by dogsled, exploring the uncharted wilderness of Greenland and the North Pole.
– During the expedition, which lasted 2 years, he met with the Inuit people. They taught him their language and took him to hunt walruses, whales, seals, and even polar bears.
– When the expedition was over, Freuchen came back home to Denmark, but only for a very short time. In 1910, Peter, together with Rasmussen, established the Thule Trading Station at Cape York, Greenland, to serve as a trading port. – Trade was too boring for Freuchen and Rasmussen, so they started to explore the island actively. During their stay with the Inuit, they explored most of the territory, travelling more than 6,200 miles (10 000 km) on a dogsled.
– Without any anesthesia or painkillers, Freuchen had to amputate his toes on his own. – Soon he returned to Denmark and went to see a doctor. Unfortunately, the doctor had to amputate his leg, and Freuchen ended up with a peg.
– Hollywood was interested in the books about Freuchen’s experiences in The Arctic, and wanted to make a movie based on them. Freuchen helped to write the screenplay, translated the dialogue into Inuit language, worked as an interpreter on set.
– But when the Second World War broke out, Freuchen joined the resistance movement and fought against the invaders. Because of this, he was caught and sentenced to be executed. However, Freuchen managed to escape.
– He decided to go on another trip to Alaska. But he had a heart attack while walking up the steps to the plane in Anchorage, Alaska. Freuchen’s life ended at the age of 71. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

Before going to an unfamiliar country, you need to know about its culture. Especially if you are going to Asia where the society still follows certain traditions and has a hierarchical structure. One of these traditional countries is South Korea with its frightening characteristics and unusual taboos. So before you fill your belly with kimchi and then hit up a BTS concert, you’ll need to get acquainted with some South Korean “no-no’s” first. Here's the list of bizarre cultural faux pas and downright illegal bans of South Korea so that you won’t spoil your trip to the land of morning freshness. Other videos you might like:

Don’t tip at restaurants 0:29
Don’t play with chopsticks 0:54
Don’t leave food on your plate 1:24
Stay away from the number 4 2:08
Don’t give gifts to your teacher 3:08
Don’t let your tattoos show 3:59
Don’t wear plunging necklines 4:41
Don’t make too much eye contact 5:31
Be careful when taking photos in public 6:17
Don’t get into arguments, especially with elders 7:00
Don’t blow your nose in public 8:02
Toilet talk isn’t taboo 8:41 #southkorea #traveling #strangerules Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– Restaurant and café employees get paid really well, so tipping is seen as an incredibly rude gesture and a jab at their dignity.
– Holding the sticks vertically and sticking them vertically into rice are associated with death in South Korea because it resembles the incense sticks stuck in the sand at funerals.
– When visiting someone’s home in South Korea, it’s impolite to refuse refreshments and even more offensive if you don’t finish what’s been served. – You might feel uneasy about the number 13, but a lot of countries in East Asia have the same attitude, only with the number 4. – The age-old tradition of giving gifts to teachers for Teachers Day on May 15 was made illegal in South Korea back in September of 2016. The law prohibits teachers from receiving gifts from students or their parents. – Many East Asian countries don’t like tattoos, and they’ve even managed to encode this into their laws. In South Korea, it’s illegal for tattoo artists to practice their work, and only licensed medical doctors are legally allowed to ink people. – A lot of women there will stick to high necklines or wear layers under low-cut tops just to err on the side of caution. However, the attitude towards miniskirts is drastically different! – It’s important to avoid looking directly into someone’s eyes if they’re older than you or they have a higher position (like your boss). – If you’re out and about in the streets of Seoul (or anywhere in the country for that matter), never take photographs with strangers in the frame. It might land you a fine or a night spent at the police station.
– You might well be a rocket scientist, but in South Korea, you have to listen to your elders, especially if they’re rocket scientists, too. No, just kidding about that last part. – You know it’s polite to cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, but take extra precaution when it comes to blowing your nose in Korea. – Now, this might come as a surprise given all the other things on this list, but talking about your #1 and #2 is totally normal in Korea!

More 12 Strange Things in South Korea That Surprise an Inexperienced Traveler Videos

Some say that great minds think alike, and that’s up for debate, but they do seem to have one thing in common – they have some strange habits. Albert Einstein, one of the smartest people ever, had a lot of quirks! Did you know, for example, that he despised socks for some reason? He never wore them at all. He wrote once in a letter to his wife, Elsa, that he had to wear high boots all the time just to hide his bare feet. Also, Einstein had a strange routine linked to his daily naps. While he drifted into dreamland, he held a metal spoon in his hand and had a metal plate lying on the floor right underneath the spoon. When he fell asleep he would drop the spoon on the plate. But why would he do that? Let’s find out! Other videos you might like:

– The only reason Albert Einstein didn’t wear socks was that in his childhood, it took him just a day or two to wear out a hole in a new sock. His thoughts were so important for him that any issue – even annoying socks – wasn’t worth the distraction. – Another habit that Albert Einstein adopted in his childhood was building houses of cards. When our brain is busy with something mechanical, it sets free our ability of abstract thinking. The more concentration needed, the greater the possible effect will be!
– Despite his first reaction, Einstein was curious enough to change his mind about violin playing. Also, there’s no better rest for your brain than a change of activity. Tired of doing math? Play guitar! Tired of playing the guitar? Go for a walk, try out some photography. – It’s not that Einstein was lazy or a sleepyhead – that’s for sure. But he was a passionate sleeper. We all know that a healthy night of sleep is good for your brain. But generally, 7 to 9 hours is enough. Still, it’s important to remember that we’re all different. For some of us, 6 hours are alright and others need all 10, like Einstein.
– His walks had nothing to do with benefiting his health. The thing is, while we walk, we’re not busy; our mind is left to itself. Plus, it’s partially concentrated on the sole process of walking. That’s why a long enough walk can put you in a sort of trance. It’ll allow you to relax and think about things differently.
