Wind power service engineers must not be afraid of heights. Because their workplace is around 100 meters above the ground, on the operating nacelle. They must not have weak nerves, either during maintenance or repair, because no scaffolding will help them where they work. For their work on wind turbines, however, the technicians not only have to be good with climbing ropes; craftsmanship is also required. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:44 - Between Heaven and Earth | Badass Professions (5/6) ▷ 44:50 - Credits ------- ------- They are nothing for the faint-hearted: badass professions that demand everything from the men who practice them. They demand strength, concentration, physical endurance, and take place in dangerous conditions, powerful odors and filthy work environments. Men who work in these fields are rarely envied. How does one cope with such jobs? We give close-up insights into a world full of dangerous work. We accompany three men with badass professions in their everyday working lives – from professional diver and metal caster to explosive ordnance disposal specialist. Original Title - Between Heaven

Discover the truth behind Earth's mass extinctions and the alarming rise of a potential sixth extinction driven by climate change and human impact. Will humanity survive? In this gripping exploration, we journey through Earth's five historic mass extinction events - from the catastrophic Permian-Triassic "Great Dying" to the asteroid strike that ended the age of dinosaurs. Learn how climate shifts, volcanic eruptions, and changing ocean chemistry have repeatedly wiped out life, reshaping the planet’s ecosystems. The video unpacks the evidence for today's accelerated extinction rates, drawing powerful parallels between past cataclysms and the current biodiversity crisis. Delve into the complex web of causes behind mass extinctions, including rapid carbon dioxide changes, ocean acidification, habitat loss, and runaway climate feedback loops. Understand why today's crisis is unique: changes are happening at unprecedented speeds, outpacing species’ ability to adapt. The discussion highlights how modern phenomena like deforestation, plastic pollution, and urban sprawl are fragmenting habitats and driving species to the brink, and explains why scientists believe we are already living through the sixth mass extinction. The video also examines remarkable survivor species

Asia’s last absolute monarchy reveals how power and tradition endure in a world of change. Discover Brunei’s royal secrets, oil-driven wealth, and the future of its Sultan. This documentary takes you deep inside Brunei, one of the world’s few remaining absolute monarchies, where the Sultan wields unparalleled power. Explore the legacy of Brunei’s sultans, from the country’s humble beginnings and near collapse in colonial times, to the discovery of oil propelling the royal family to extraordinary wealth. Despite its modern luxuries, Brunei maintains rigid control - political discussion and any mention of the Sultan’s fortune are taboo, and most forms of democratic activity are severely limited. The video examines how oil revenue has forged a unique social pact: free healthcare, education, and no income tax keep most citizens content, even as political freedoms are curtailed. Through vivid storytelling and historical analysis, the video raises pressing questions facing Brunei today. Can the monarchy persist when oil and gas reserves dwindle? Is the current grip on power sustainable in the age of democracy and transparency? Why do so many Bruneians accept
