He’s a man born into power… the heart of the axis of evil. He tortures and executes hundreds of thousands of his own people with his finger held closely to the button. This is the story of a man with an insatiable desire for power and fame. A man raised to be a dictator who rules with sadistic cruelty. A man who let his people suffer in one of the world’s worst famines while he lives the high life with imported women, booze and the world’s finest foods. It’s North Korea’s Kim Jong-il. Stories from defectors include the rumour that he drowned his younger brother as a child, that he bugged his own father to see if he was considering someone else to take over from him, and that he had rivals shot if he thought they might stand in his way - all fell by the wayside in Kim‘s ruthless quest for power. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual the original video platform channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

Episode Three – The 9/11 Chronology No narration. No interviews. No hindsight. Just the footage, audio, and reports that captured 9/11 as it happened. Episode Three begins at 8:58 AM on September 11, 2001 — the following 5 minutes changed this century.

This project is intended as a historical and educational record, preserving the timeline and tone of the day with precision and respect. Whether you're revisiting the events

When British Airways Flight 5390 took off for Spain, no one could have predicted the terror that would unfold just 13 minutes into the journey. At 17,300 feet, the captain's windscreen violently blew out, sucking Captain Tim Lancaster out of the aircraft and into -7°C air and 390 mph winds. With the captain pinned to the outside of the jet and the autopilot disconnected, co-pilot Alastair Atchison had to take manual control of the 43-ton BAC 1-11, executing a harrowing dive to 11,000 feet in just two and a half minutes.
