The final episode of our series on travel has arrived! This week we go over the relatively recent history of successful air travel while covering those lovable idiots who tried (and failed) to fly in times past. Follow along as we discuss the deadly year of 1985, the idiocy of using hydrogen in your rigid air ships, Germans bombing infants, and much more.Sources:https://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/flight/classic/ten-bungled-flight-attempt1.htmhttp://www.eballoon.org/history/history-of-ballooning.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ballooning_accidentshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Akron_(ZRS-4)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R101#Final_flighthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airship_accidentshttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-27517166https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw_C_sbfyx8https://ludwigkeck.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/sikorskys-38brochure25b45d.jpghttps://www.theguardian.com/world/datablog/2014/dec/29/aircraft-accident-rates-at-historic-low-despite-high-profile-plane-crasheshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_in_aviation
