Join me as I visit the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills, NC. The museum here tells the story of the Wright brothers and their journey to become the first in flight on December 17th, 1903. I take you through the museum, and then outside to see the replica camp houses, the markers showing the locations of the original flights, and then I take you all the way up to the monument on top of Big Kill Devil Hill. Thanks for watching!

Love it! I've been there! I was kind of surprised at the amount of change of the landscape in just 100 years versus what we all know from the famous pictures of the area. But I suppose that the grass holding the dunes from shifting makes sense! Pretty cool place!

Yeah it's fascinating how much has changed. I saw some other places in the Outer Banks where sand/sand dunes were stabilized with plants--I had never heard of that being done before, but it must be very common. Such ingenuity!

Great memorial. New era of human civilization. How scary it must've felt to fly head first right next to a big chunk of metal and those blades! One wrong move, you're on the ground, everything colapses, engine suddenly want a hug and those blades are trying to chop you in pieces...

Yup. [Not so] fun fact: the first airplane death ever was in 1908, with Orville Wright as pilot. The plane crashed and the passenger, a U.S. Army Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge, died.

Hey Bridget, thanks for the video. As you mentioned, there's indeed controversy surrounding the subject. Being a big fan of your work, I'm sad to say that I initially liked this video and after researching on it, removing the like again. Having watched a rather intriguing documentary on this subject, I believe history books should be re-written. At least in parts. If you do non-biased research exposing all today's known facts, you can only come to the same conclusion. Just a few bullet points to elaborate on this: - numerous credible eye witness accounts to Gustav Weißkopf's flights in 1901 or earlier - aviation experts from all over the world stating that Weißkopf's flying machine No. 21 was indeed capable of controlled flight - none of the Wrights' flying machine replicas was capable of flying further than 15m, and usually ended in injuries or fatalaties - questionable evidence on how far and high the Wright's flights ever went - the Wright family being well connected and influential, leading to a questionable contract between them and the Smithonian's in 1948 - the State of Connecticut and numerous other institutions acknowledging Weißkopf's achievements in and even before 1901 Just to be clear, I 'm not saying the Wright brothers haven't achieved amazing things crucial to aviation in later years. They were very talented, skilled craftsmen and successful business people - no doubt. But history should be about facts and evidence - not about opinion and emotions. Well, that's the way I see it. Anyway, keep up the great work, telling us about interesting topics such as this one. All the best!

It's always amazed me how short the interval is between the first flight and the use of air power in WW1. So much progress in only 11 years. Too bad it was because of war, but that's the way it goes.

Yeah, and it really makes you think how much it all came down to some mathematical equations/data. And once the math was finally perfected, suddenly...the world was changed forever. (Though I guess that's the case for most big inventions!) Not sure if I'm explaining my thought very well, but. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Imagine I'm an airplane." made me think of that scene in The Notebook where Rachel McAdams is running around the beach yelling "I'm a bird!" Probably just me haha 😄 Regardless, thanks for another great video! Hope RU-vid's algorithm stops snoozing and starts exposing more people to your channel and content 🙌
