@JohnCunningham-cx5hf Hurricane Katrina was indeed a devastating and unforgettable disaster. The impact it had on so many lives and communities is still felt today. Thank you for bringing it up. If you have any personal experiences or thoughts about it, we'd love to hear more. 🌪️💔

@brendatorgersen9939 Thank you for sharing your experience. The April 25, 1992 earthquake in Humboldt County must have been incredibly intense. It's amazing to hear firsthand accounts of such significant events. The sight of Black Hawk helicopters flying over must have been surreal. We're glad you're here to share your story with us. Stay safe! 🌍💚

😂 Oh no! It sounds like your ex-husband might have been a disaster of a different kind! Thanks for sharing and bringing some humor to the comments! 🌪️😄

Thank you for your comment. The 2016 election and its aftermath certainly brought about significant changes and sparked intense debates. It’s clear that opinions on this period vary widely, reflecting the diverse perspectives and experiences of people across the country.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The association of Boeing with recent high-profile crashes has indeed had a significant impact on public perception. It highlights the immense responsibility that aviation companies have in ensuring safety and restoring trust. Boeing, like any other company, faces the challenge of learning from past incidents, improving safety measures, and regaining the confidence of travelers. What are your thoughts on how aviation companies can better address these concerns and enhance overall flight safety? Your insights could add to the important discussion on improving aviation standards.

Thank you for highlighting the Tenerife airport disaster. It was indeed a tragic and pivotal event in aviation history, with 583 lives lost, making it the deadliest aviation accident ever. The collision between KLM Flight 4805 and Pan Am Flight 1736 under dense fog conditions led to significant changes in aviation safety protocols, including improvements in communication, runway visibility procedures, and pilot training. Do you think these safety measures are enough, or do you see areas where further improvements can be made? Your thoughts on this could provide valuable insights into how we can continue to enhance aviation safety.

@@villagefive EVERY airline incident that ends in loss of life causes policy or technological changes that make flying safer. Ground alert prox. warning, Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System, etc. Weather related accidents nowadays tend not to be one cause, but multiple failures that add up to end in death. Mistake in programing altimeters, being so high on glideslope that false readings appear, etc. generally won't take down an aircraft without other causes too (pilot hurry, distraction in cockpit, weather.) I didn't mean to sound harsh, but the title of your video WAS "Top 5 airplane crashes in severe weather" and Tenerife is and probably always be number 1.

@tyronewalker5764 Thank you for your question. Suicide statistics can indeed vary significantly by gender. Generally, data shows that men are more likely to die by suicide, whereas women are more likely to attempt suicide. This highlights the need for targeted mental health support and prevention strategies for different demographics. Do you have any thoughts on what specific support mechanisms might be effective for different genders? It's important to have a conversation about tailored approaches to mental health.

@puppybasket3906 Thank you for sharing your experience with Harvey! It’s incredible how weather patterns can impact different areas so uniquely. The way Harvey affected Houston and then turned back was indeed devastating. It’s fascinating to hear about your observation of the "invisible shield" around Dallas - weather phenomena can be so unpredictable and intriguing. The last typhoon was massive indeed. These natural events remind us of the power of nature and the importance of being prepared and resilient. How did you and your community cope with the aftermath of Harvey? Sharing these stories can be really helpful and inspiring for others who might face similar challenges.

@@villagefive Harvey did not affect us at all in Dallas, we did not even get a drop of rain though we were preparing for a huge deluge. My neighborhood has been recovering from several tornados, downbursts an derechos in the last few years though. We just get cleaned up from one and another seems to hit. On the plus side the Dallas suburb I live in has gotten very good about cleaning large amounts of fallen trees off the roads fast. Power restoration could use some foresight though. We were out for five days this last storm.

Thank you for mentioning these tragic air disasters. The Tenerife airport disaster, BOAC Flight 811, and Air Florida Flight 90 are indeed some of the most significant and heartbreaking events in aviation history. Each of these accidents had profound impacts on aviation safety and regulations. Do you have any personal insights or thoughts on how these incidents have shaped modern aviation safety measures? Sharing our reflections on these events can help us understand their lasting influence on air travel today.

Room 69, huh? That would definitely be an interesting addition to the list! 😄 Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

@ukmary1968 You're right! The first island is definitely not a place for casual visits. It's one of the most dangerous and forbidden places in the world. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

@@villagefive I enjoy your videos

@robertstevens9004 Interesting thought! The mysteries surrounding these places do make you wonder if there's something out of this world going on. Thanks for watching and sharing your intriguing perspective!

Absolutely right! Dragons' Teeth from WWII are indeed different from the Moai statues on Easter Island. Thanks for pointing that out and for watching the video!

@markm_koko Volcanic eruptions can indeed affect the climate, but they come with their own set of challenges and dangers. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

Understandable! Volcanic eruptions can be quite intense. Thanks for giving the video a chance, even if it's not your usual interest!

@aircrew705 Great point! The Toba eruption was indeed one of the most catastrophic events in human history. Its impact on early humans was profound. Thanks for watching and adding this important piece of information!

The phrase 'calm before the storm' generally refers to a period of calm before bad weather hits, but I get your point about the eye of the hurricane. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

That's a great point! Many people have found that Georgia offers more pet-friendly beach options compared to Florida. While it's true that some Florida beaches are starting to welcome pets, Georgia's beaches, like those on Jekyll Island and St. Simons Island, have been known for their pet-friendly policies for quite some time. It's always nice to find a spot where the whole family, including our furry friends, can enjoy the vacation together! 🌞🐾

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Oregon definitely has some great qualities that could put it on the list. It's known for its natural beauty and progressive policies. As for California, Colorado, and Vermont, I agree-these states are often highlighted for their unique cultures, stunning landscapes, and forward-thinking approaches. Each has its own appeal, making them popular choices for many people. Your input is appreciated! 🌲🏞️

@specialprojects7504 When the flag is used as clothing, including as a bathing suit, it can be a sensitive topic as it can be perceived as disrespectful to the flag and its symbolism. The United States Flag Code does not specifically address the use of the flag as clothing, but it does emphasize treating the flag with dignity and respect. Wearing the flag as clothing, especially in a manner that covers private parts, can be seen as disrespectful to the flag's symbolism and the values it represents. It's important to remember that the flag is a powerful symbol of the nation, representing the sacrifices made by those who have served and the ideals of freedom and unity. While individuals may have differing opinions on this issue, it's generally advisable to refrain from using the flag as clothing out of respect for its symbolism. There are many other ways to show patriotism and support for the country without resorting to using the flag in this manner.

And yet...this isn't about religion

In the Bible Jesus says render unto ceaser that which is ceaser. We as Christians are not called to be disrespectful towards our government. We of course must keep our priorities straight and remember our citizenship is in the kingdom of Heaven. But that is no reason to disrespect our country. Furthermore more flags and banners are in the Bible as things that are shown respect. In fact one of the names of God is Jehovah Nissi which is translated The Lord our Banner.

@countysecession It's understandable that individuals may have different perspectives on the significance of symbols such as flags and their place in society. While for some, the flag holds deep cultural and national symbolism, for others, religious beliefs may take precedence. It's important to respect the diverse beliefs and values of others, including their religious convictions. In Christianity, the worship of Jesus Christ as King is central to the faith, and for many believers, prioritizing spiritual devotion over symbols of national identity is a deeply held conviction. Ultimately, discussions around the use and treatment of national symbols like flags can be complex and nuanced, and it's essential to approach these topics with understanding, empathy, and respect for differing viewpoints. Each individual's beliefs and values should be acknowledged and respected within the broader context of society.

@@tjv-logs Everything is about religion. For example, if you and I have a conversation, you would expect me to tell the truth (presupposing absolute morality and absolute truth). Forming a sentence that makes sense presupposes immaterial and absolute laws of logic. Many people say the flag is sacred or at least that we need to treat it with respect. Saying something is sacred is a religious belief.

@@jonathanbruins8124 Jesus called His government (the Pharisees) all kinds of names (Matthew 23). 60 million babies have been murdered in their mothers' wombs in this country. I don't think He would be respectful when confronting those in our government who have allowed and fought for that. The Lord our Banner, doesn't mean that banners in general are acceptable. That means we rally behind the Lord. That is exactly my point. Christ is King--not Biden, Trump, George Washington, the Constitution or any other earthly thing.

@MrTyjnash That's a wonderful tradition! 🙌 It's great to hear that flag etiquette was such an integral part of early education in Wyoming. Teaching these rules from a young age instills a deep sense of respect and patriotism. Did you have any special ceremonies for holidays or other significant days? Thanks for sharing your experience!

@@villagefive I didn’t know that was special. It’s was automatic and the way things were. I thought everyone did the same and considered it a patriotic task that everyone understood and performed with a tempered level of pride. Even at 6 years old, I understood and so did all my classmates. I left Wyoming when I was 16 years old. That was ‘88. We were still raising and lowering the flag everyday. Like many things, as time passes you don’t realize what falls off.

@pokelynke8232 Thank you for sharing this story. 🇺🇸 It's great to hear that your grandpa took such care to honor the flag properly even after it was accidentally dropped. The Boy Scouts' ceremonial burning is such a respectful way to retire a flag. It's moments like these that show the deep respect we have for our national symbols. Did you attend the ceremony with your grandpa?

You should.

@@MrTyjnash nah, imma do my own thing

@b.thomas8926 Wow, what an interesting experience! It's incredible how detailed and precise flag etiquette can be. Your adherence to the regulations shows the importance of understanding and respecting these protocols, even when it surprises others. It must have been quite a moment when you showed that you were following the rules correctly! Thanks for sharing this insightful story. Did it lead to any changes in how future ceremonies were conducted?

@@villagefive Negative. The guy who got upset was an old vet. He was used to how the flag was placed. Seeing us perform the (rare) maneuver, raised his eyebrows. Usually the stands are on the stage with the speaker, but in this case, the stage was small, and there was a lot of set dressings that forced the stands down to the same level as the audience. He was unaware that the new placement required a change in the placement of the flags. In-fact, I double checked the regs, then we practiced maneuver a few times to make sure we had the drill down. Even my CO was a little put off by it, but the three of us went over the regs after the speech. We had done it right. Edit: If there is anything that changed, it was that efforts were made to ensure that the flag stands were on stage with the speaker, to eliminate any misunderstanding.

Same rules. Stars at the top left relative to the observer

@grammanaynay That's correct! It's an important part of the flag retirement process to respectfully separate the union from the striped field before burning. This shows the proper respect for our national symbol. Thank you for highlighting this crucial detail. Have you participated in a flag retirement ceremony before?

That's great to hear! 🇺🇸 Learning flag etiquette in elementary school helps build a foundation of respect and patriotism from a young age. It's wonderful that schools take the time to teach these important traditions. Do you remember any specific lessons or activities that stood out to you?

@@villagefive 35 years ago, we lined up and each of held the flag on the sides and we rotated through folding and unfolding until everyone folded the flag. A lot of respect for flag. That was 35 years ago.

Thanks for the comment! It's always important for everyone to be reminded of the significance and proper respect for our flag. Do you have any particular points you think are most important for people to understand about flag etiquette?

@larryriendeau Thank you for sharing your observations and insights regarding flag etiquette. It's clear you have a deep understanding and respect for these traditions. You bring up an interesting point about the positioning of the flag on the staff during times of mourning. While the practice of flying the flag halfway down the staff has become more common in modern times, your adherence to the older tradition of reserving the first position for the 'invisible' flag of death is noteworthy. Both practices have historical significance and are rooted in honoring the solemn occasion of mourning. Regarding the issue of the flag becoming tangled in the rigging when flown halfway down the staff, it's crucial to ensure that the flag is displayed in a manner that prevents damage and maintains its dignity. Your suggestion of following the older tradition to prevent tangling is practical and respectful. As for the use of mourning ribbons, it does seem that this practice has become less common in recent years. Mourning ribbons were traditionally worn as a symbol of respect and remembrance during periods of mourning. While the use of mourning ribbons may have declined, it's essential to continue finding meaningful ways to honor and remember those who have passed. Overall, your observations raise important points about the importance of honoring flag etiquette and traditions while adapting to modern practices. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights on this topic.

@EVP5309 That's impressive! Taking the initiative to learn flag etiquette on your own shows real dedication and respect. Joining the Navy must have provided even more depth to your understanding and practice of these traditions. Thank you for your service! Did your knowledge of flag etiquette play a significant role in your duties?

@@villagefive Not particularly, no. I did once fail a room inspection, causing me to do unsat Saturday. Thing was, they never told me they canceled it due to Veteran’s Day, so I showed up in my dress whites for inspection. Ended up volunteering to help out with morning colors (raising of the flag) since one of them never showed up.

@evoandy Absolutely! Your scout master was right to emphasize this point. Wearing the flag as a cape goes against flag etiquette and the respect it deserves. It's important to educate others on proper flag treatment. Thank you for sharing this, and for your commitment to respecting the flag. Have you had any experiences where you had to correct someone on this?

@ChristinaRockefeller Thank you for sharing! 🌞 It's great to hear that your husband has found a new home in Florida and that you’re enjoying it so far. Florida has so much to offer with its beautiful beaches, warm weather, and vibrant communities. While some people may be leaving for various reasons, there are plenty of folks like you who love the Sunshine State and all it has to offer. What’s your favorite thing about living in Florida so far? 🌴😊

@@villagefive My husband and I love the historical sites in Florida, we are planning a stay at the Breakers Hotel next month. So many beautiful places in Florida.

@mszoke30 Thank you for your question! 🌟 According to the U.S. Flag Code, any alterations to the flag's design, including changing the colors of its stripes, are generally discouraged as a sign of respect. The traditional design, with 13 red and white stripes and 50 stars on a blue field, should be preserved to honor the flag's history and symbolism. If you have any more questions about flag etiquette, feel free to ask! 🇺🇸😊

@@villagefive right I was being sarcastic. Don’t understand why I see police and fire vehicles driving around with altered flags on them. How is this ok? If I changed the stripes to the LGBTQ colors people would lose their minds. But it’s ok if the cops do it….really?

I understand your concern and appreciate you bringing it up. The topic of altering the US flag, whether for support of different groups or causes, can be quite polarizing. The US Flag Code specifies that the flag should not be altered or used for advertising purposes, and this includes adding or changing colors or symbols. The flags you see on police and fire vehicles, such as the Thin Blue Line flag for law enforcement or the Thin Red Line flag for firefighters, are meant to show support for those who serve and protect. However, many people, like yourself, feel that any alteration of the flag disrespects its original symbolism and intent. On the other hand, flags with LGBTQ colors or other variations are similarly intended to show support and raise awareness for their respective causes. The reactions to these variations often depend on individual beliefs and values, leading to differing opinions on what's considered respectful or appropriate. Ultimately, the conversation about flag etiquette and its interpretations is ongoing, and it's important to approach it with respect and understanding of differing viewpoints. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

4 U.S. Code § 8 Just google that and find out for yourself.

@@mszoke30 I've never seen a actual flag this way, only decals (although I believe they probably exist).
